<p>**I have yet to take the SSAT and hopefully my percentages fall as my previous one have. :)</p>

<p>Do I have a good chance of getting in? What are things I can do to quickly enhanced this resume?</p>

<p>oh and I’m also a published author :)</p>

<p>Cool. What is Your book called?</p>

<p>Now it all falls down to Your interview. If You don’t do well, You won’t get in</p>

<p>You have a chance other than the fact that a lot of things You stated are irrelivant, such as “I am very enthusiastic about school”; all people who apply to Exeter are! etc…</p>

<p>I want to read your book . Whats it called ? =]</p>

<p>I won a poem contest and it was published in a book :)</p>

<p>Sorry, I meant writer not author!</p>

<p>Thats something else-If You were the author of a book, Your chances would increase.</p>

<p>And as for my interview I am pretty comfortable with talking with an interviewer and have been praised several times for being very articulate and confident while I speak–hopefully that will impress the interviewer! Do you know the types of questions that they ask?</p>

<p>Yes, I do realize this and wish I had written and published a book. I’m a writer, but I haven’t published any of my stories.</p>

<p>While this Resume is impressive, a number of other children have resumes like this, and those that do not have a reason for it. For example, I am also applying to Exeter for 9th Grade, and I am not two Years above mY grade in math because my school does not offer it, nor for science. It also doesn’t offer EC’s, as stated in my application, because my school a TINY school with only 300 children, one floor, and it is new as well. I Do, although, play an instrument like You, and i also Play a number of sports, etc… Because of this, i learned that it is almost impossible to tell if You have a good chance or not. What i can tell You is that Your Resume looks fine! :)</p>

<p>thanks :slight_smile: what could I do to enhance it?</p>

<p>I have completed the interview and it went perfect. What You need to do is be Yourself. I cannot tell You for sure what Your interviewer will ask You, but mine asked me a few Q’s like these-What are Your thoughts on the Harkness table? and Why Do You like Exeter as opposed to regular schools? etc… I can tell You that the Interviewer could care less if You talked fluently or not-He or she wants to learn more about You and about Your views as a person on certain topics like athletics and school etc…</p>

<p>Good Question-Nothing! If You do, it will look like You are padding Your application, so to speak, and they will see you as insecure! Be happy with how Your application looks now!</p>

<p>Hmm… Okay thanks!! :slight_smile: that was very insightful! So basically my questions will be along the lines of how I feel about school and my future plans for life?</p>

<p>Yes-Correct (Ten Char)</p>

<p>If You get in, let me know ill tell You if i did!</p>

<p>Okay, will do! :)</p>
