<p>My Recs were awesome ... all my teachers like me and I think they gave me awesome recs !</p>

<p>My grades are really good too (consider that I should only be in 7th grade)</p>

<p>Honors Algebra I:A

<p>Interviews</p>

<p>Exeter: First intervie (off-campus) was with a total re-interview on campus went really good.</p>

<p>Choate- On Campus, I think it went really good</p>

<p>Andover: AMMMMMAAAZZZIIIINGG the guy was blown away at the stuff I do (i.e 4 languages)</p>

<p>Deerfield-Decent</p>

<p>Hotchkiss: pretty good</p>

<p>So tell me, Do I have chances or did my SSAT score ruin my application ... I am so scared</p>

<p>What might sink your application is your use of a slur to describe your exeter interviewer. Not a smart move, nor is it indicative of the kind of kid these schools want to admit. I would advise you to read this:

<p>Dude, don’t put your name and where you’re from. AOs are lurking.</p>

4

<p>oh crap … im scared as hell now</p>

5

<p>Same here I just turned 13(My birthday’s at the end of November)…Anyways i think you have a good chance but you shouldn’t have posted your name.</p>

<p>@knostantink,
AOs are swamped with mail now. I doubt too many AOs have the time during admission season to lurk on CC.</p>

<p>thanks CTPeruvian, I appreciate it, I sure hope I get accepted,</p>

<p>and ifax, your reasoning sounds logical … I hope for it to be true !</p>

<p>With 69% it’s really hard to get anywhere, really. You should take it again and try next year.</p>

<p>I’m currently at Exeter, and honestly, you have a chance. Some people are under the impression that your SSAT scores have a lot of weight in your chances, but I can assure you, they don’t. We often discuss our SSAT scores in class and we came to the realization that not everyone is in the 90th percentile or higher. You have a lot of ECs and you speak 4 languages. If your essays were interesting and honest, and your interviewers can see your hunger for education, then I would say you have a good chance. Good luck!</p>

<p>tbaker … OMG thank you, you are the person I have been waiting for. I am relieved now, knowing that I have a slim chance of getting accepted. If you are a freshman, could you please tell my tour guide, he was a freshman too, and showed me around on the 13th of December, if you find him, I don’t remember his name, could you tell him that id like to thank him for the great campus tour. If you refer to me as a blonde german kid who loves science, maybe hell remember me …</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>
