<p>Hi everyone. I am currently in 8th grade, and I am considering applying next year to some boarding schools (Lville, Exeter, Andover, Groton, Deerfield, maybe Hotchkiss) so that I would go there in my sophomore year. I am a white female and I live in Utah. What do my chances of acceptance look like?</p>
<p>Grades/Academics:
My current core classes are...
GATE math
Spanish I
8th grade U.S. History
8th grade Integrated Science
8th grade English</p>
<p>Cumulative 8th grade GPA: 4.0</p>
<p>I did get a B- in 6th grade orchestra and a B+ in 6th grade science. How much (if at all) will this affect my chances?</p>
<p>My school only offers accelerated/honors classes to 8th graders in math, but I am in the gifted and talented math program, which is the highest level offered.</p>
<p>Next year (freshman) I will be taking...
Honors Soph Math
Honors English
Honors Chem (soph level class)
AP Bio (I am taking regular bio over the summer through Johns Hopkins's CTY program)
Spanish II
AP Geography</p>
<p>Leadership/ECs/Volunteer Work:
Founded a Red Cross Club at my school, which I am President of.
Secretary to local 4-H Teen Council.
Member of NJHS.
Will be in student council next year as Fundraising Director.
Historian for local National Charity League.
Volleyball for 4 years (hope to be on school team next year)
Piano for 8 years
Next year, I am going to join the debate team at my school, start volunteering at the hospital, and possibly start another club or something.</p>
<p>Awards:
7th grade finalist, school geography bee
1st place, regional History Day competition
Honorable mention, district science fair</p>
<p>Employment:
I got a job working at as a camp counselor this summer at a local ecocenter, but have not started yet.</p>
