<p>So right no I am applying to many New England Boarding Schools and was wondering what my chances of getting into Groton, Hotchkiss, Middlesex, Andover and Deerfield were.</p>
<p>My ISEE scores aren't amazing 9 8 7 6, (Haven't gotten my scores for the SSAT)
(I'm a lot better at verbal and reading than math) </p>
<p>But I will get a good recommendation from all my teachers.</p>
<p>I had REALLY good interviews at all of these schools.</p>
<p>My EC's are:</p>
<p>Section Leader in Chorus
Lead Singer In Band
Debating Team
Film Classes
Archery
Set Tech
Fishing
Volunteer Work (Senior Home and Food Pantry)</p>
<p>Schools your applying to are tough schools. Your ec seem god. your grades and essays will be a big factor in the schools decision. It would be best if you got above an 80% overall for these schools, but many applicants get in with lower scores.</p>
<p>Thanks. Just finished all my interviews and waiting for March 9th</p>
<p>what was your ssat score?</p>
<p>Wasn’t too good, my reading and verbal were in the 90’s but math was relatively low.</p>
<p>if your overall is above an 80 id say you still have a good shot at all schools. If you have a good math grade in school that could help</p>
<p>I was wondering if anyone could tell me if I have a realistic chance at a school, not HADES, but pretty close (don’t want to say exactly) I got a 65 overall on SSAT, 48 in verbal (ouch).
My interview went great, I explained to him math was my best subject and my math score on SSAT was by far best so I think that will help compensate for my low score.
My hook is I play soccer on state and regional level, and a good friend of mine is already at the school and her family is big there.
My teachers last year named me best overall student
I have 4.0 (no rank, highest you can get in my school, no weighted/ unweighted)
I am also an officer in student council the only 8th grader with all other 9th grade officers.
My SSAT writing was probably above average, not outstanding though.
I’m really nervous, and I can’t make it to March 10th, any response would ease my mind with what to expect
I would be a day student, Thanks</p>
<p>Can someone please answer… BUMP</p>
<p>Bxy25,</p>
<p>I can understand how much you are nervous. Your profile looks good except SSAT score. But that could be compensated by the interview and grade as well as your hook. </p>
<p>Relax and wait for M10. If you are rejected it is not the end of the world</p>
<p>I wish you all the best.</p>
<p>thanks so much patronyork, it is a great relief that someone can confirm I have the slightest chance… I am still beyond nervous, but I want to thank you for replying and I wish you all the best in whatever you hope to happen March 10th and beyond (:</p>
<p>The time for answers is only a month away…</p>
<p>Not sure whether to be happy or nervous</p>
