<p>I am wondering what my chances with Deerfield are?
honor roll student- always
all honors classes
leadership committee
spanish lll
latin
soccer
skiing- 3rd in state
ice hockey
lacrosse
tennis
sailing (competitively)
i have done community service at our local yacht club teaching kids how to sail for the past two summers</p>
<p>What are my chances?!!? any other suggested schools?!?!</p>
<p>So people can chance you, you should include this information:</p>
<p>Grade
Nationality (if you feel ok giving this, many times being a minority will change your changes)</p>
<p>SSAT (if possible, or any type of SAT if you can)</p>
<p>Classes - Grade (I know you say you get all A’s, but it’s important to know what classes you are taking)
Classes - Grade</p>
<p>EC:
(Things you do after school)</p>
<p>Community Service:</p>
<p>Awards:
(Extra awards that will interest the AO’s)</p>
<p>Other:</p>
<p>P.S Right now, everyone got their letters of acceptance/waitlist/rejection so things are a little hectic. I would actually wait till Fall if you can to get the most replies.</p>
<p>Good Luck</p>
<p>I volunteer at my local yacht club every morning of the summer and teach little kids how to sail. I am participating in a local clean up trying to make our town a greener place. I am in eighth grade. Next year i will be taking all of the honors classes, which are the hardest classes i can take. I have not yet taken the SSAT’s.I can get almost perfect teacher recommendations. I am a caucasian. If deerfield isn’t for me, what do you think is?</p>
<p>The fact that you were 3rd in states for skiing can actually be quite a hook if you apply to schools with an alpine ski team. Once you start applying, you could try to contact ski coaches and get them to support you while applying.</p>
<p>A girl in my grade went to states and while I don’t remember what place she got, it was definitely not as great as you did. </p>
<p>Do you have any other ECs besides sports? Although you seem like a great athlete, which schools want.</p>
<p>I am part of the leadership committee and I play the piano, used to play the saxophone. Next year there are many more options for ec’s and i am planning in participating in more. So what schools do you think I have a good chance with??</p>
