<p>Hey Circle,</p>
<p>I’ve been lurking on this page for a while now and I guess I’ll post.</p>
<p>Last year, I applied to only Andover as a day student and got rejected. I think it was because of my horrible SSAT score… 55% overall <em>yuck</em>. I also didn’t really know why I was applying to a boarding school… I didn’t have a valid reason to leave my current school district.</p>
<p>I was pretty sure that I was going to stay at my local high school for the next four years, but during freshman orientation at my local school, I realized it wasn’t the right fit for me.</p>
<p>I ended up reapplying to Andover again for Sophomore year, as well as Choate, Hotchkiss, and Exeter. I also looked at Taft as a prospective school as well. I originally had Andover, Exeter, Hotchkiss, Taft, Lawrenceville, DA, Loomis, Middlesex, and Groton as options, but when I went for interviews and did more research, the schools I didn’t end up applying to just weren’t the right fit for me. Hotchkiss also was not a great fit for me, but I ended up applying since I already had paid the application fee. </p>
<p>I only got accepted to Choate, wait listed at Andover and Hotchkiss, and denied at Exeter. When I went for my revisits, it clearly sealed the deal and I ended up liking Choate more than liking Andover. </p>

I am also very into music</p>
