<p>I'm trying to get full ride to Linden Hall for my freshman year. How can i raise my chances? </p>
<p>I know it's hard because I don't really have a hook. But here's what I have. I'm in 8th grade, by the way.</p>
<p>Grades:
I'm worried about it. I usually get either straight A's or 1 B, but now and then I'll get 2 B's. Last year I got straight even got 3 one quarter!! However, I'm also in a really hard program at my school with 100 kids from my county. I'm in Maryland Public Schools in a really big county (Montgomery).
I'm great with camera's. With my humanities program at school i've done a lot of writing and working with media. With a group I am currently producing a documentary about NYC (we took a trip there) and it has an interview we held with the editor-in-chief of the New Yorker! I'm a good student, i work hard, and the teachers really like me. </p>

I haven't taken them but I'm studying really hard for them and I'm a pretty good test taker. I'm taking them in December. Any tips?
For other test I test awesome in really high percentiles. </p>
<p>So, what else should I do to raise my chances? I want this so much! This is my dream school! What do you think?</p>
