<p>What are my chances???</p>

<p>Great multi-sport athlete. (The coach is actively involved with my admissions. The coaches were actually the ones who first talked to me abt attending)
Straight A student
Under represented minority
Great recommendations from teachers and coaches
Did good at the interview
Wrote good essay's for the application (my teachers proof-read them.</p>

<p>Mediocre to less than average ISEE. I was very nervous.</p>

<p>Is a bad ISEE a deal breaker????</p>

<p>That’s very vague. What did you get on the ISEE?
And yeah, having a bad ISEE or SSAT will kill you most of the time, unless you are an extremely good athlete/artist/musician. Anyway, I really think that you should take the SSAT. Most boarding schools consider ISEE as an add on to the SSAT. Besides, you might do better on that one.</p>

<p>Truth is, as a URM & athlete, you will get cut considerable academic slack not afforded to other candidate pools.</p>
