Prep School Admissions
1

<p>I have been browsing this forum for some time now, and this board has taught me so much about prep school admissions. I just wanted to say thank you, and congratulations to all who are currently attending a boarding school and good luck to everyone who is applying this year. </p>

<p>Chances =) </p>

Applying for 9th grade
No Financial Aid
I live in Virginia!
(btw, middle school for me starts in fifth grade)</p>

<p>Academics:
- High School Credit Courses = Latin 1, Algebra 1, and Physical Science (can't remember the name)
- Other classes = Literature, Grammar, History, and P.E
- A's since fifth grade and I'm expecting to get all A's this year
- have not taken SSAT's, but expecting to score in low 90s.
- haven't done my essays, but they should be pretty good.</p>

<p>I also have been horseback riding for 5 years and I am currently ranked number 4 in my division. </p>

<p>Lacrosse and basketball haven't started yet, but I am definitely playing this year, and its school tradition to vote all of our sports captains at the beggining of the year.</p>

<p>Sorry, kind of confusing. </p>

<p>Extracurriculars

<p>I don't know enough to evaluate your chances. You should know that no one can do that. However, I like the fact that you are applying to a variety of schools -- not just the most competitive. Your athletic strength should help you, and you certainly have leadership. I think you will be a serious candidate. Good luck! Please keep us posted on how you do.</p>

<p>I don't know why dcheng would say that (post #2). Sarah12, you have a good academic record and seem very accomplished in the three sports and horseback riding. Plus, I sense a nice personality so I'm sure your interviews were great. Some schools are reaches for everyone but I'm sure you are in the running for all. Good luck!</p>

<p>you look great to me! (but i'm starting to get all worried for ME now, if this is what i'm up against! :) )</p>

<p>Score well on the SSATs, but don't stress out about them because they aren't the most important part of your application. Stress your most active ECs (Extracurriculars).</p>

<p>Also, I agree with BurbParent in that it's good youre applying to a variety of schools! I personally know someone who goes to Episcopal - they'll be a senior next year - and it's a great school with a very supportive environment.</p>

<p>what are your SSAT scores?</p>
