<p>Your are definitely qualified but you never know with some of these schools.</p>

<p>Exeter- Reach
Andover- Reach
SPS- Reach/Low-Reach
Deerfield- Low Reach/Match
Choate- Low Reach/ Match</p>

<p>Do you speak all 3 languages fluently? Being a polyglot is always a good thing. Speaking French AND Korean is pretty impressive.</p>

4

<p>What?...If you say its a reach for A/E then its a reach for SPS and Deerfield also. And no way is it a reach for A/E and possibly a Match for deefield when they actually have the lowest acceptance rate of them all with 18%. Just though I'd throw that out there so the OP is not mis-lead with those stats.</p>

5

<p>Yes. I was born in S. Korea and we speak korean at home.</p>

<p>I moved in Canada when I was 5 and speak very fluent english.</p>

<p>I also go to a french immersion junior high school with 5 of my academic classes in solid french (in class and out of class)</p>

<p>I speak, write, listen to french very fluently.</p>

<p>I'm kinda afraid of my recs tho cuz my english + math teacher are kinda mean to me. </p>

<p>My history teacher wrote great recs for me tho :P cuz he showed me haha. </p>

<p>I'm also applying as a sophomore.</p>

6

<p>Question - How many students based on grade do they take in a year? Reply if u know :P Greatly appreciated</p>

7

<p>It matters which school your talking about A/E are a little bigger than SPS/DF. But its a good amount of people.</p>

<p>From the Andover web site:</p>

How many new students join each class at Andover?
Every year, nearly 200 new ninth graders, or juniors, begin their journey at Andover. They are joined by an average of 85 new peers in the tenth grade, or lower year, and 20-25 new eleventh graders, or uppers. A total of 30-35 new seniors and postgraduates round out the graduating class.

<p>so guys do u think i have a good chance for deerfield? I wannna go to deerfield really bad cuz my friend goes there, and he says the foreign languages rock. I want to learn latin :P</p>

10

<p>Oooo! Latin! Me too... maybe we'll be latin buddies. =]
Anyways, you seem qualified... but unfortunately that's the extent of what we can offer you. Maybe your personality sucks, you come of as arrogant, you write *****ty essays, etc... all the stuff that can't be conveyed over the net.</p>

<p>But yeah, given all of that is false, I think you have a great chance! Good luck. =]</p>
