New England High School boarding schools

<p>Hello everyone!</p>

<p>My name is John and I'm going to apply for boarding school this year. I really want to go to deerfield but I think I'm not good enough to get in. I see a lot of kids posting online about their achievements and makes me feel like im crap. I have not taken my ssat's yet but I will soon. Any advice for the application? Also can you tell me if my list of EC's are adequate for school?</p>

-Played trumpet, piano, and guitar for 4 years (each)
-Sang for 3 years

-Started a filmclub (And now we have partnership with youtube)
-Earned a 4.0 GPA in 6th and 7th grade (I'm not too sure about 8th lol)
-Got a 110 on the TOEFL (Since I'm an international student)
-Traveled to 30+ countries, been to 6/7 continents (worldly educated)

<p>^^ these are just things I've done for the past 3 years or so...
I really don't think this is enough since my sis went to harvard and she did so much more than me.</p>

<p>THANKSS IM SUPER NERVOUS IM A GUY AAND IDK WAT TO DO >.<</p>

<p>There is a seperate forum for this. But I’ll help you out anyways.</p>

<p>You seem like the typical HADES applicant: straight As, diverse ECs, volunteering. What is your SSAT score? Deerfield and similarly prestigious boarding schools would probably expect ~90%-tile.</p>
