So I saw on the Miss Porter’s application process that you needed grades from the past two years (6th and 7th for me) and your current grades, which is going to be my 8th grade grades (I’m in 7th now and applying to 9th grade, but i’ll be applying as an 8th grader). However, I’m a bit nervous since my grades from 6th weren’t exactly the best. I had grades mostly in the A range, with a few B’s, and one C. Thankfully, I’m getting straight A’s—maybe a A- here and there in 7th, now that I’m actually trying. Can someone please tell me if my grades are a little low for Miss Porter’s?
Schools are always most interested in your most recent grades. They are admitting the student who just finished 8th grade, not 6th. What’s done is done, so just make sure you continue to apply yourself. They realize kids mature.
If you have become more interested in school, you may want to give some thought as to why. What changed? This is an important part of your story, so you may want to incorporate a part of it into your essays.
