Okay so I’m applying to Exeter, Loomis, Groton, and Hill for 9th grade and I want to know if I’ll get in.
ISEE:
93 math
92 quantitative
75 vocab
72 reading comprehension
Grades:
All A’s and a few B’s last year. All A’s in 6th grade. All A’s, one B, one C (yikes) this year
Interview:
I have done just one and it went very well.
Extra Curricular:
I volunteer with Special Olympics. My brother has special needs. This helped me in my essays.
Founder and president of student council
AAA hockey have played for 10 years
Top 10 in the country in track
Have played bass for 6 years
National Honor Society
Debate Team Captain
Math Team Captain
African American in Maryland does that mean anything?
Oh and I forgot all of my classes are 2 years above grade level
You seem like a great student! You have many interests and you are also from a different country. Phillips wants diversity, so you being African American is a plus. You are also team captain on multiple teams, this shows your leadership qualities and your devotion to extracurriculars. However, that C could harm your application
Since you’re ranked top 10 in track the C probably won’t matter because you could be admitted as an athletic recruit
You will almost definitely get in to a great school. Your statistics (2 years above grade level with good marks) show you can do the work, and your ISEE seems to be well in the ‘good’ territory for Hill, and well in the ballpark of the others. Your ECs are very solid, and you are an URM. You are very athletic and will make your Alma Mater proud, no doubt! What’s not to love about your application, based on this two dimensional view? All will rest on your interviews, your essays, and your recommendations.
Good luck!
