St. Paul's Chances

<p>I am currently in 9th grade at an extremely horrible public high school. I am not a minority but I attended a school in which only 13% of the 800 people go to college (12% will stay in state). I am in the top 5% of my class and have made nothing but high honor rolls grades since 7th grade. I was president of FBLA in 8th grade and was/is involved in Scholars Bowl, newspaper, literary magazine, community service, photography contests, writing contests, key club, battle of the books, spanish club, french club. I was a english, science, spanish, and french tutor and I won a state writing contest and was runner up nationally. I have taken my ssat's twice and got a 63% and a 67% (i think that is the only thing holding me back). I also need considerable financial aid. I applied my 8th grade year and got rejected but have since developed a business relationship with a man who has a large scholarship fund at the school. Chance me?</p>

<p>Anything special about you? With those SSATs i'd figure you need something to jump off the page.</p>

<p>Financial aid is not a relevant issue as SPS has free tuition, room & board for students from families making less than $80,000 a year. Your SSATs are low for St. Paul's which typically admits students with scores in the 80s & 90s with significant talent in other areas. Possibly your acquaintance with the scholarship fund can write a rec for you.</p>

<p>i will be taking the ssats again and hopefully will do better</p>
