<p>Hello I'm new and I was thinking of applying to boarding school next year. I'm currently a sophomore, but next year i'll apply to repeat junior year. I scored 170 on the PSAT's this year and I was wondering if with those scores themselves I could stand a chance at the following schools:
Choate
Deerfield
Peddie
Brooks
Taft
Loomis
and Milton</p>
<p>thank you !!!</p>
<p>bump guys i really need your advice!!</p>
<p>No. You're not an automatic shoe-in if you have good test scores. I've heard that they're actually the last thing the schools look at. Sorry but I'm also not familiar with the PSAT :(
What are you extra-extracurriculars? What are you passionate about?
Whether it be community service, swim team, or painting the schools want you to show them you have a passion and a willingness to participate at your school.
What are your grades? Do your teachers like you? Be prepared to ask them for recommendations!
Grades are SO important when applying to B.S.!</p>
<p>I wish you BEST of luck next season!</p>
<p>Test score is just one part of the admission. They also look at your extra curricular, recommendation, your grade at school and the essay you present.
Good luck !</p>
<p>I go to an intensive international school (i'm american though) in eastern europe and I don't need financial aid. My grades are about a b+ average. I'm in the only honors course they offer (math). My extracurriculars are 2 varsity sports (various awards) I speak fluent in an eastern asian language and english. I am self taught in piano and violin. I'm in various charity groups. My recommendations are good because the teachers are amazing. Anymore thoughts? I have a question if any of you know:</p>
<p>Is it more difficult to get into Choate junior year because after looking at threads on this board I see rarely anyone has been accepted?</p>
<p>ten characters BUMP!!!</p>
<p>like crickett said, your psat could be about as important as your dogs name.
i wouldnt go throughout my application thinking your in just cuz of them, cuz youll be dissap.
a huge thing they look for, is your EC list, honors, recommendations, your enthusiasm/motivation, and of course your essays.</p>
<p>thanks
for the help
i really wish to apply to more schools though next year</p>
