School Suggestions?

Prep School Admissions

<p>I'm from west coast Canada and currently live on a very isolated island in a first nations community. I go to a small school (250 kids, grades pre-kindergarten to 12) that I'm not that happy with.</p>

<p>I am 14, female, and a straight A student. Because my school doesn't have an honors/AP programs I currently attend math and English with the grade 10's (which I am still at the top/near the top in). </p>

<p>My only EC is Student Council, as my school doesn't offer any/many more (they occasionally start a club only to stop it later because only 1 or 2 people joined). </p>

<p>The only sport my town offers is basketball (which I suck at, being hit in the face with a basketball is NOT nice). I used to take Karate (I was a green belt) and Tennis before I moved here. Both I really enjoyed. </p>

<p>I got 79% on my SSATs and can't really afford to take them again, as my school/town doesn't offer them and the nearest place to take them is 1 hour away by plane (which would cost me $1000)</p>

<p>I need full/almost full financial aid.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>think about williston northampton school, or maybe nmh.</p>

3

<p>I thought it was NHM instead of nmh.
I would suggest Millbrook, Hachkey, Cushing, Beshire, KUA, Wilton, Suffield and Westminster.</p>

4

<p>Are you a first nations person? </p>

<p>If so, I would recommend Andover, Choate, Exeter, Lawrenceville, Groton. Maybe Hotchkiss or St. Paul’s.</p>

<p>I’m a bit first nations, but I don’t have a status card. I am accept here as part of the community though, and I can sing, dance, and tell first nation’s stories. I can also speak very minimal amounts of the language.</p>

6

<p>Oh and I forgot to put I am also semi-fluent in French.</p>

7

<p>Forgive my ignorance. What is a first nations person?</p>

8

<p>You should also look into Cate and Thacher, which would be much closer to the west coast of Canada.</p>

<p>From Wikipedia:

[quote]
First Nations is a term of ethnicity that refers to the Aboriginal peoples in Canada who are neither Inuit nor M</p>

<p>I am not clear about whether you are considered a “first person” or not, but if you are it would certainly be an underrepresented group at any boarding school and the schools suggested by Periwinkle would probably be interested in you. Also, applying to a program like ABC would be beneficial. If accepted, they would forward your application to schools they select, you would would avoid paying application fees, and they will advocate for your admission. You should contact them to see if you can still apply for the 2010-11 school year.</p>

<p>I’ve looked into ABC, however it lists on the website “Students must be citizens or permanent residents of the United States to be eligible to apply.” Which, I unfortunately, am not.</p>
