<p>Chance me PLEASE.... i will chance you back</p>

<p>How are your recommendations? What about interviews? Your SSAT may hurt you a bit. Right now, you’re a lot like everyone else. Some sports, community service, and you play an instrument. Have you ever done anything that stands out? Did you save a runaway peacock from the zoo?</p>

<p>My reccomondations are good/great… I travel a lot around the world. In the past i have been to singapore,china,japan,vietnam,cambodia,hong kong, egypt, france, costa rica, and much more. And by te way from a couple of schools the coach said they would love to have me there…</p>

<p>also i know french :)</p>

<p>bump! help please!</p>

<p>do you need FA?</p>

<p>No, i will not be needing aany FA… chances?</p>

<p>better. Did you contact coaches and music director? Make sure they know you`re applying and see if they can put in a good word at the AO for you. If one of them has a need for your talents it could really help you.</p>

<p>Yes, have contacted coaches, many of them have seen me play and have said they would love to see m play for them. But, do i have a chance? and if so, at which schools?</p>

<p>94% national is like 80 something global, yeah? That’s gunna hurt you.
Choate should be pretty easy to get in though, we had a couple people from our school that got in, and they are not good. at all.</p>

<p>Some people get into schools because of their parents/family or donations (legacy). So all these schools are pretty hard to get into.</p>

<p>but do i have a chance??</p>

<p>Ok yankeefan.
Everybody has a chance. Your chance is decent for Choate, because it’s sooo easy to get into that school. You lack a hook, though. Nothing really stands out, no rare EC or sport, but the schools that you are applying to I’ve never even heard of, so I guess they should be much easier than the schools most of us are applying for (A, E, D, H)</p>

<p>Choate is not easy to get into…trust me on that one. Kent is the easiest school on your list. Yankee, you`ll be fine.</p>

<p>BUMP!!! chances please!!!</p>
