Prep School Admissions Prep School Chances

<p>Hello,</p>

<p>I would like to get everyones input on whether or not I can get in schools like Choate, Exeter, Andover, Deerfield, Peddie etc. etc. I'll just concisely list my accomplishments and ECs. (Am from Panama , Central America, not Florida.) My tops are: Choate, Loomis, Exeter, and Taft. Please give a simple yes, no, probably, or low chance to each of these, or just a percentile :).</p>

<ul>
<li><p>I am fluent in both English, and Spanish.</p></li>
<li><p>I practice Hap-Ki-Do, and am soon getting my blue belt.</p></li>
<li><p>I play American Football, and was elected to play in the all star team of Panama, but could not attend because of some family issues.</p></li>
<li><p>I have played soccer, this is one of my favorite sports, and i've played it for 7 years.</p></li>
<li><p>I have also played tennis, for about 5 years.</p></li>
<li><p>Once I turn 14 in May am planning to join the Cayuco team, this team does the ocean to ocean race, the name is pretty self explanatory.</p></li>
<li><p>I get 2-4 As each quarter.</p></li>
</ul>

<p>(Im also vegetarian I thought I would throw that in, probably isn't very important, may be a hook)</p>

<ul>
<li>I participate in the Math Olympiad</li>
</ul>

<p>I need FA that may hurt my chances.</p>

<p>I know I may not have the best chances, but I would like to get everyones thoughts on whether or not I can get in either of these schools. (My top choices are Peddie, and Choate.) Thank you for all your time.</p>

<p>Sorry just saw this. As for your chances, I don’t know - the fact that you are from Panama is interesting, but don’t rely on it entirely as a hook. Your grades are good, but none of these things are the determining factor. For now, just ensure that your SSAT, essay, and interview are good - in my opinion, that’s how admission offices pick between two equal applicants. You seem perfectly qualified to get in, but so are a lot of people who get rejected/wait-listed every year. The real question is, will you distinguish yourself enough during the admissions process? Good luck :)</p>
