<p>I know applications are in and it's too late to do anything, but I'd love for someone to give me an estimate of my chances. I've applied to Deerfield, Exeter, Taft, and NMH (as a safety). </p>
<p>I have straight A's. I'm in the National Junior Honors Society. I take tennis lessons once a week. I volunteer for the tennis club at my school for an hour every week. I'm treasurer of the student council. I am also the editor of the school newspaper. I am the district spelling bee champion and the junior high geography bee winner. My overall SSAT was a 95%, with a 98% in verbal, 95% in reading, and 76% in math. I am half Japanese, born there, moved when I was two to the US, still speak Japanese and have dual citizenship. I'm in the gifted program for the fifth consecutive year. Five years of experience in gymnastics. My group won the district Odyssey of the Mind competition, moving on to regional. Interviews were with alumni (Exeter), a current parent (Deerfield), and via Skype (Taft). I think the two in person ones went well, my Deerfield interviewer told me that he'd push really hard for me to get in. </p>
<p>I'm not trying to brag or anything, I'm just filled with all this nervous energy and anxiety that I will not get in. I'm aiming for full financial aid. Applying for 9th grade. I'd also love to trade essays with someone, if you could read them over.</p>
