Thoughts on Tabor, Milton, Nobles, ect.

<p>Hi!
I have recently begun looking into different independent schools for high school. I was wondering what your thoughts were on if I have a chance on getting into some of the following schools, but first let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am fourteen and currently attend a public school. I have never skipped a grade and I have never been held back. I am in the highest level of courses offered at my school and still receive straight A's and A+'s with the occasional A-. I am scheduled to begin taking an advanced research course later in the school year for scoring high on the MCAS. I recently participated in National History Day, I scored 1st place in the first round (the other rounds have not been completed yet). I play club softball and I have been sailing for 7 years. I have played the violin for 4 years and was recently accepted into my school's chamber orchestra. I have also taken private piano lessons for 9 years. I participate in Peer Assistant Leaders and Peer Mediation at my school, both of which you needed to apply for. They are basically both programs to do good for the community. I also applied and got accepted into Buddies, a program which sets up you and a group of other students with a buddy, who is a child with special needs. I took the SSAT for the first time in November and scored in the 91st percentile. So what are my chances of getting into Tabor Academy, Milton Academy and Noble and Greenough School?</p>

<p>Also, if you have any knowledge about any of these schools, anything is helpful!</p>

<p>Thank you and any help is appreciated!

<p>If you are serious about applying to those schools I’d schedule the visit for interview as soon as possible. The deadlines for completing application with recommendation letters and essays are close, either 1/15 or 1/31.</p>

<p>Payn4ward, I have already visited these schools and interviewed. I have also started the applications. Sorry for not being clear.</p>

<p>No one except the admissions staff at the schools you’ve applied to can “chance” you. Certainly, no one here can, but you are posting in the wrong forum in any case. If totally random guesses regarding your chances will make you feel better, re-post in the Chances forum.</p>
