EC’s are very light. Your SSAT scores are also low for some of the schools. If you have great recommendations and an excellent interview that might make a difference. Also, your grades are good so that will help. The tennis level is very high. It’s too bad you stopped. I think it you played tennis at your current boarding school that would represent well roundedness. Most of the kids at these schools play sports at a fairly high level and also maintain high grades. Is there any way you can play tennis this year?
