i only got an 89 on the ssat
i played soccer 7 and 8 grade
baseball 7
basketball 8
moot court
hike for hope
clean school building
and some other clubs and stuff
straight a's so far this year
a+ in math and science
a- in reading
what are my chances of getting into any of these schools</p>

<p>ps- latino, live in lawrence, low income and applying for FA</p>

<p>You'll be fine.
Where is lawrence?
Either way, I think you have a good shot at Exeter, just as long as you have a good interview. That is probably the biggest reason why I got in.</p>

<p>Lawrence is in Massachusetts. It's pretty close to Andover.</p>

<p>The fact you are latino should help you tremendously.</p>

<p>I agree...You have a great shot.
I know Groton usually accepts a couple kids a year from Lawrence..there was two every year when I went there.
Don't worry about SSAts either...89 is very high..
what is your top choice?</p>

<p>my top choice is andover
lawrence is like the poorest city in massachusetts lolz
anyways 89 doesnt sound alot compared to all these other people with 99's and 98's
my friend peter went to Groton last year</p>

<p>im really nervous for my interviews, im a shy person so they are kind of hard for me
any tips???
how did yours go</p>

<p>i know lawrence from football. good players in the mauler program.</p>

<p>Trust me, 89% is nothing that is going to hurt you.
That being said the rest of your application has to be strong, but by the looks of it, it is.
What year is your friend?</p>

<p>whats is the mauler program
i always wanted to play pop-warner but apparently nobody knows where the registration is or when the season starts what position you play baller
where are you applying to school</p>

<p>peter is an 07-08 freshman
got accepted with full scholarship i think, he had a low 80 on the ssat</p>

<p>As for tips on the interview just be yourself. I know, it sounds easier than it is. My interview was very relaxed...Ask questions and make sure what you're saying is what YOU mean and not your parents...</p>

<p>what school am i most likely getting accepted to
i aplied to st johns as a back up but i do not want to go to an all boys school
plus its a day school</p>

<p>ps. i met a teacher form andover at prep@pingree summer program she said that she would put in a word for me
how much does that affect my chances?</p>

<p>I think you have a good chance everywhere...it all depends on the money you get though...
I am assuming you will need full FA?</p>
