<p>So, I’m going to assume (instead of reading 2 pages- I’m take 10 mintues out of class to browse CC) that the OP needs significant FA.</p>
<p>I’m going to Choate on a full FA scholarship, and I would DEFINITELY recommend you check out Choate next year when you apply. Please! They love diversity, even financially. I, and other FA students, bring a new perspective to the BS world, apart from the old/new money kids and the celebrity kids, which honestly, there aren’t many of.
Don’t let CC intimidate you.
My biggest tips would be: stick with what you like and BLOW IT UP during admissions. I’m into volleyball. I’m not insanely talented, but I love it! So I contacted the coach, and my God, I would credit my entire acceptance to him if he’d lte me! I also had a very good SSAT score (99% overall) and acceptable grades.
Now, your bad grades are a problem for you, yeah? Now, the SSAt is the levelled playing field. It’s not that difficult! Everyone spazzes out, but basic math, good writing abilties (which you have), and a good vocabulary (do you read? Then you’re set) will get you through with FLYING COLORS.</p>
<p>BEST OF LUCK! And apply to Choate. We’ll probably want you! (You kinda remind me of me. Which makes me sound old. So go and get into BS. Yarr!)</p>
