Hi I’m applying to eight different boarding schools and I just wanted to know how you guys got in. I know there’s no one in the world that is sure of what happens behind the scenes of boarding admissions but I wanted to know if I stand a chance.

violin- 5 years (first chair, advanced placement, honors orchestra)
volleyball- 1 year
golf- 1 year (competition)
community service/environmental club- 2 years
national history day-district level
science fair-2 years
student leadership- 2 years (class representative)

schools im applying to: choate, westminster, st. george, loomis, deerfield, lawrenceville, st. mark’s, northfield mount hermon

Well, given this information I don’t know because you didn’t list your grades or SSAT.

@Dog423 my gpa is 3.85 and my ssat is 97%ile

You should probably be able to get in. But, just a quick question. What did you do to get a 97%? Did you do a lot of tutoring? Or did you just do a lot of practice problems?

lots and lots of both(: I studied like 24/7 on the test week good luck! @Dog423

Thanks! @okboarding Yea, I am applying to a couple of boarding schools as well this year. Do you think I have a shot? Top16 in squash (so will probably be #1 on the team), taking Pre-calc, Honors Chemistry, American Literature, and AP U.S. History. I am in 9th grade applying to 10th. I have also done a lot of practice and I will probably do the SSAT in December:current SSAT practice scores: 99%math, 85% Reading, 80% Verbal.

i think it’ll help if you have like an instrument or other stuff besides academics. you need to stand out from other students and the more the better right? keep in touch(: @Dog423
