<p>Hi, I'm new to CC and um as my first thread I'd like to know my chances of getting in to some of these schools I'm applying to. I'm currently applying 9th grade and trying for Episcopal, Lake Forest Academy and NMH. And I live in the chicagoland and I am Asian. =)
SSAT Percentile- 76%(pretty bad but I have 2 left including a flex test so i could probably get it into the low or mid 80's), I know it's kinda sad
Interviews- I've only had the Episcopal High School but the interview was really great.
I have all A's in classes and probably very good recommendations.
Sports- wrestling(1 year), tennis (3) and skateboarding but it probably doesnt count.
EC's- I've volnteered for a teacher in VBS(vacation Bible study) for three years, went to China with my church in 5th and 6th grade to volunteer for an orphanage for a month during summer(hard work). Been playing guitar for 2 years. Part of the drama team at youth group.
And I'm applying for FA. I know my chances are slim but feel free to express your emotions!</p>
<p>I forgo to mention in the ECs- 2 years in band(trombone) and 2 years in a academic bowl team.</p>
<p>I don't know what your chances. However, you can be proud of a 76%! Good luck and welcome to the board.</p>
<p>Thanks Burbparent!</p>
<p>You can't take flex test if you took the regular one already.</p>
<p>It says on the ssat website </p>
<p>that you can take the test in addition to the national testings.</p>
