<p>The schools listed above as well as 2 Canadian schools are on the list of possible schools.</p>
<p>Grades all A's except gym which is a B</p>
<p>sports are swimming and equestrian</p>
<p>not taken ssat yet but practice test estimates 95 % as do other previous standardised tests.</p>
<p>community service and other interests include helping at the local food bank and fishing tournament, and gardening /green projects</p>
<p>possible hooks - Native American
status - Canadian / US dual citizen lives in Canada
going against - need a great deal of financial aid</p>
<p>what are the chances?</p>
<p>I would think being Native American would be an attractive hook for many schools- definitely an URM! And the fact that you are a dual citizen might also help you receive aid as much more aid is available for US citizens than foreigners at US schools. I would ask about AID during school visits. Good luck!</p>
<p>Hi MAbound, </p>
<p>My son, also Canadian was either rejected or waitlisted at Groton, Deerfield, Exeter, Andover. We did not apply to Chatham or Stoneleigh, I don’t really know anything about these two schools. </p>
<p>My kid has similar qualifications to yours, all A’s, swimming, fluent in 3 languages, did international exchange, attended BS summer camp, got many great recommendations. </p>
<p>My kid does not have US citizenship and he is not Native American, so this can be your hook I guess. We did not ask for any financial aids. </p>
<p>If I were you, I’d probably apply to more schools. Good luck!</p>
<p>@2Be,
Good thing your S didn’t apply to Chatham or Stoneleigh; he would have gotten rejected there… ;)</p>
