<p>Hello! I would like to know if I have a fair chance getting into The Lawrenceville School.</p>

<p>I am a female 8th grader applying to Lawrenceville School for 9th grade.
I have done community service for 7 years and theatre for three. I am in P.A.L.S, a girls organization, and I am the student council president.
I have always been on honor roll, A and B average. A depending on which year. I always make 90% percent or up on all district tests and I am in the top 60% percent of my whole grade. I take all pre advanced classes and I am currently taking Algebra. I did half a credit of spanish last year, and will get the other half during summer. My writing skills are exquisite and I plan to run track this year.
Grades right now:
Science- B+
P.E.- A-
P.A.L.S- A+
Math- B-
U.S. History- A-
ELA- A-</p>

<p>So do you all believe I have a chance of getting into The Lawrenceville School? Thank you, any comments are appreciated!
Also, quick question, does Lawrenceville have a cheerleading group</p>

<p>Outside of school I am in a community service group that helps special needs kids play baseball every Saturday. ( Of course when baseball season comes. )
I also take acting classes outside of school.</p>

<p>I know my grades aren't the best, but I am trying! I don't do sports or play a special instrument, but I have other strengths!</p>

<p>The school will look at how rigorous your current school academics are and your grade would be evaluated in that context. Also, have you taken SSAT? If not, be reminded that the last SSAT you can take and have score sent to the school is January one. So, don’t miss it. </p>

<p>I guess your overall ECs are strong, especially I like your community service and student council. You don’t do sports and tell school that you plan to track. As you mentioned, focus on and promote your strengths. All the best!</p>
