<p>Did you apply ED? Do you need financial aid?</p>

3

<p>Oh yea sorry, forgot to mention that. I'm applying EDII and I do not need financial aid.</p>

<p>Really depends on what boarding school you go to. If its a top one like Deerfield or Hotchkiss you'll get in no problem. Though seeing that you are a top skier I'll wager that you go to Stratton Mountain School in which case you should have a pretty good chance of getting in.</p>

<p>proctor academy?</p>

6

<p>I think you have a pretty good chance.</p>

<p>Not as good of a one as if you had applied ED I, but I think you stand a real shot.</p>

<p>Apparently Colby might be much more lenient for people not in need of FA this year, and that is where you benefit.</p>

<p>Last year I'd probably say it's a reach, but right now you're looking good.</p>

<p>Thanks for all your input, and yes Gatsby that's where I go. How did you happen to guess that?</p>

<p>Has your injury completely prevented you from competitive skiing? I'm just wondering if you're being recruited. That would surely help your chances. Applying ED II and not needing financial aid will also definitely help.</p>

<p>My injury kept me off the slopes the vast majority of last season and most of December but i'm skiing once again and pretty far away from where I should be. Despite that I think the coach will still pull for me but not exactly make it it a priority if that makes any sense.</p>

<p>Yeah, I totally get what you mean. I have to be straight with you: your SAT scores are not outstanding, but that is the only obvious weakness I can glean from what you've posted. Your high GPA and the leadership roles that you've assumed will work in your favor and the fact that you interviewed is also advantageous. Good luck!</p>

<p>Sounds good, thank you much walk!</p>
