<p>Hi! I'll just pray this is the right forum. :D</p>

<p>I need advice on boarding schools in general.</p>

<p>For the 2013-2014 school year, I’ll definitely be applying to Interlochen, Idyllwild, Phillips Academy, Putney, and Northfield Mount Hermon. For the first two, I’d be specializing in piano/music in general. </p>

<p>My final grades for sixth grade were straight As and my final grades for this year will all be in the B to A- range. I’m somewhat of a teacher’s pet, so I’m pretty sure I can get good teacher recommendations. </p>

<p>I only have a few extracurriculars. I’m in my school’s Ecology Club and have been for the past two years. I taught myself piano for two years before starting private lessons in third grade, which gives me 5-7 years of experience. I have three years of trombone and a year of violin with me. I was on the school newspaper last year and took voice lessons up until last month. I’ve also been in the All-School Musical for the past two years.</p>

<p>So, what are my chances of getting into them? Should I try to add more extracurriculars for next year? Also, does anyone know of any other good schools with strong arts programs?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>Add more extracurriculars only if you enjoy them. I heard Choate has strong arts programs. Chancing is useless. Good luck.</p>
