3-Is it a good school for me, I love biology and photography, also music:)? Can you suggest me sone more schools that accept international students and suitable with me?
Thank you
@SculptorDad is a great resource on Grier. His daughter is a freshman.
Schools typically do not contact your teachers. Everything they need from your current school should be provided with the application (transcript, recs, etc.) What are your SSAT scores? IT looks like English is not your first language. IS that right? I am thinking that you might like George School. VERY strong in the arts (and biology ) and they have excellent support for English language learners.
Yes, that’s right. I’m Vietnamese. Anyway, thanks for your answer
@gardenstategal but do u think I have chance with Grier school?
I don’t know much about Grier admissions so don’t think I can be of much use to you on that. GOOD luck, though!
I think you have a good chance of getting in since the acceptance rate is pretty high compared to other BS’s I’ve seen. Will you need FA? I’ve learned that needing financial aid puts you at a greater risk for rejection. But don’t worry about that too much. Have you taken the SSAT/ ISEE( if Grier accepts it)? Score? You sound incredibly smart with a 4.0 GPA, and your EC’s are nice. Have you gotten interviewed yet? Also, I know that Choate Rosemary Hall (I’m also applying there heh) has great arts programs.
I will get SSAT next month, I also like Choate Rosemary Hall but It’s a top school so I’m not sure if I have any chances
