Nervous Eight Grader

<p>Hi, all :] I'm really new here--I've only been here for four minutes actually. Anyway, I'm an eight grader who really wants to go to Milton Academy, Phillips Exter, or Phillips Academy Andover. I'm in all AP classes due to the middle school AP program. I take Latin and Greek ROOTS. I think this is bad, but I'm going to take Latin in high school. I don't plan on applying until my sophomore year in high school due to financial reasons, so I was wondering what I could do with all my extra time to help my chances of getting in. I'm taking the SATs and the John Hopkins test (I don't remember what it was called) soon, and trust me when I say I've been bloody studying. I'm in Track, Cross Country, basketball, and play badminton and tennis quite well. These sports range from two to four years. I've played the flute for, I think, four or five years, the guitar for two years, and the piano for one year. I dabble in drums and saxophone. I'm great at science, math, and social studies, but I don't stink horribly at LA; I just find it somewhat boring. I've been part of Girl Scouts for two years, and I will earn my Silver Award soon. Due to Girl Scouts, I've been volunteering. In high school, I plan to join JROTC (the Air Force one). I know I'm not the greatest choice for all these schools. My parents are busy with work and thus, I can't participate in as much things as I've wanted to (all the pick-ups and drop-offs). But what do you think my chances will be? Any suggestions? Thank you in advanced!</p>

<p>Holy crap…your only in 8th grade and you’ve done more than i’v done in all of high school
You know what…you are WAYYY WAY WAYYYYYY ahead of everyone else, so please please please don’t ruin your last year of being carefree (in a sense) by worrying about all this stuff now…
At least not until next year rolls around
And congrats for doing all that and still taking AP’s (IN MIDDLE SCHOOL!?) and still having time</p>

<p>There is a prep school board here–most of the rest of the board really doesn’t know much about prep school admissions, just college :slight_smile: </p>

<p>God help our youngsters… </p>

<p>Seriously speaking… I don’t know too much about admission to prep schools. Refer to the prep board.</p>

<p>OH! xD Sorry, I’m really new, so I had no idea :stuck_out_tongue: I’ll just copy and paste the same thing to prep schools :] Thanks!</p>
