Phillips Exeter Academy Chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey, I was wondering if and alumni/ past alumni of Phillip's Exeter could tell me my chances of getting in for 9th grade? I'm entering 8th grade this year.</p>

<p>Here are my seventh grade scores;
I have almost all A's and I only received 3 B's for the entire 7th grade year.
I got a 99th percentile on Terra Nova testing, scored above average on all subjects.
For 7th grade I also received an school award for art
Honors Literature and English
Basic Math
Intro to World Languages; Latin, French, and Spanish.
I was on the Honor Roll/ High Honors all year.</p>

<p>Other activities I do/did:
Ballet for almost eight years
(I don't know if this counts towards anything) Art Camp two years in a row where I also gave tours for incoming 7th graders and answered their questions for the upcoming school year.</p>

<p>I was pretty tied up with Ballet classes for 7th grade but this year I'm doing an Art Club, Flag Football, Street Hockey, Writer's Club and Student Council.</p>

<p>What do you think my chances for getting in are? My family has a low income (around 70k) plus we have six members of our family. I'm a thirteen year old female.</p>

<p>It’s hard to tell with the information provided. Just remember that the essays and interview are the most important part of the application process. Don’t be too worried about the SSATs either because my interviewer said only 2 out of 30 people with a perfect SSAT score got accepted the prior year.</p>

<p>Ur grades and stats r less important than personality: how will u fit in, is it the right skl, r u adaptable (transition will b difficult!!), r u polite, r u PASSIONATE.
Best of luck 2 u, tho. X-ing my fingers till march for both of us.
Btw, if u need any interview tips, u can ask me.</p>

<p>From my experience with prep school, your essay and interview are the most important aspects.</p>
