<p>School
-currently attending a top 50 school, have straight a's except a C plus in spanish three honors. =( yeah ik it stinks. So I have 6 A's and one C plus. Last year my gpa was 3.0 flat (I know this really stinks, but I had huge family issues, and schools are understanding, I had no electricity or internet at my house, and had to commute three hours a day to school, trust me it affects ur grades) Most of my classes are honors except Alg. 2. My gpa this year is currenly 3.8, so add that with the 3.0 and u get- 3.4 gpa. Mind you, i do go to top 50 public school who sends about 20 kids to ivy per year.</p>

<p>Recs-
Should be fantastic, my english honors teacher showed me what she wrote (even photocopied a copy for me to see), and said I was one of the most pleasant and knowledgeable students she ever taught. My math teacher, isj ust a nice person in general, should be decent, I have an A in the class, and I'm polite and all. My other recs were done by my public speaking teacher, who im pretty close with. While my other ec recs were done by my TAEKWONDO master, he is curently the chairman of education at Kukkiwon (capital of taekwondo in the world) He is a close family friend, and told them how I'm dedicated, and managed to stay strong through tough family times.</p>

<p>Essay-
Wrote on all diff topics, I showed my teacher and I made her laugh and cry which I take as a good sign and was able to to connect </p>

<p>Interviews- Never had an issue with interviews, most of my interviews lasted an hour (which im told is longer then usual)-I had to suffer from mean glares of ppl waiting for their shot. They told me I'd be a great member of the school, and an interesting fellow. They told me not to worry about my grades last year and keep up the good work, they loved my ecs, and I got postcards from my interviewers at Exeter, Andover, Deerfield, SPS, Choate, and Peddie. They all told me I did great at the interview and looking forward to seeing me again.</p>

2

<p>Apparently you are the “reach” of all the schools. ;)</p>

3

<p>hahah thx for the compliment, i feel like im gonna fail into getting every single one though, thx for ur honest. U really think i have a shot at the HADES schools tho?</p>

4

<p>Are you kidding me? Since you are so hotly pursued, these schools should put up a “chance thread” and ask about their chances of getting you!</p>

5

<p>hah wow thx for being really honest (I hope!), getting into a boarding school is one of my dreams rite now. Im just worried about my grades, hopefully my ssat and ecs will maek up for it. It also helps im an asian football player i heard =) not alot of those, except somoans and phillipinos, but i guess they dotn count as orientals</p>

6

<p>Tell me how these schools are when you get there because if you don’t I’ll be suprised.</p>

7

<p>haha thx hoping411, u really think i have that much of a chance at these schools? thx for so much positive feedback =)</p>

<p>btw hoping411, my brother told me to apologize to u, he says his internet sucks at exeter so he told me to offer his “condolences”- that nerd</p>

8

<p>I’d say you’ll definately get accepted.</p>

9

<p>0.0 wow thats a bold statement, u think so even with my grades. u dont think any of these schools would be reach for me?</p>

10

<p>wait, apoligize for what? lol</p>

11

<p>he said u ased him to chance u, but he never got the chance. hes goes to exeter? btw how weree ur interiviews, ssat, and etc. good luck to ya too</p>

12

<p>Wow. I am angry now. I received no postcards/e-mails/anything from my interviewers and not even one christmas card from the schools I am applying too. I gave my choate interviewer my e-mail address so she could e-mail me her’s but I guess she hated me since she never sent me an e-mail… And when I e-mailed a thank-you note to my other interviewers, they never responded acting like they didn’t receive anything.</p>

<p>I AM GOING TO GET REJECTED TO EVERY SCHOOL I APPLY TO AND WILL HAVE TO STAY AT MY CRAPPY PUBLIC SCHOOL!!!</p>

13

<p>woah, calm down 2010, u still will get accepted. alot of my friends at top notch boarding schools went in with NO CONTACT with admissions until they got the letter. and regarding emails, i emailed them first, like thank you. then got thank u nd post cards so dont worry.</p>
