Hello, I’m applying for the program this year. So my question is: What are the odds of accepting a 9th grader into the program?
Their website clearly states: “In very rare cases, if there is space, we will admit an exceptionally talented and mature 9th grader”. That would mean I have a chance, right?
If you have participated before, did you, by any chance, see a high school freshman in the program?
If they really like your application and your writing shows depth and maturity beyond your years, you have just a good a shot as anyone else. Go for it, and if it doesn’t work out apply again next year. Good luck.
Do you have a natural talent in writing? What is your vocabulary level? If your vocabulary is equal to a Senior then I’d say you have a chance. Take an online vocabulary test to determine where you stand.
