<p>Hi. I am going into 7th grade (as in 7th grade starts tomorrow.) I really like Choate Rosemary Hall the most, and I also like Concord Academy and I have looked at and semi-liked Taft and Middlesex.
I have great grades. Maybe not perfect, but in 6th grade I got two B+s, in Science and French (I've been taking it for ne year, just to let you know), but this year I am 99% sure I will get those AT LEAST up to an A-. I have an A- in Math, and for the rest of my subjects (English, Social Studies, Chorus, and Health.) I also take Video Production, in which I have a A. I have taken Chorus for 5th and 6th grade, but honestly, I'm not a singer, so I'm not taking it this year.
I have not taken really any extra curriculars this past year (besides Video P.), but for 7th grade, I plan, and will really add on quite a bit. I'm going to be in Student Association, and the Writing Club which switches off with Literary Magazine. I am also doing LOTS of community service, totaling up to about 100 hours or more by the end of 7th grade. These are running 2 bake sales for Children's Hunger, one book drive for Read to Grow, volunteering at a school that my step mother works at (helping the community, helping the school, baking pies at thanksgiving... that kind of thing.) I am also doing an hour a week of helping kids with Autism. I am also (hopefully) going to volunteer at a Soup Kitchen once of twice a month with a friend to feed over 150 people.
I am an avid writer and reader. I enjoy graphic design, photography, collecting Harry Potter things, hanging out with friends, and school.
I think this is about it.....
So, what are my chances?
And if you think there is a school in the New England area (Mass., Conn., NY, MAYBE VT and NH), feel free to suggest it.
Oh, and I do rock climbing 2-3 times a week with a friend. It's a lot of fun and I really enjoy it... So, because this is my only sport year-round, I'm not too athletic.
And my GPA is (in 6th grade) a 3.79, out of 4.0...
And another end-note. I'm in the lowest math. So I'd be taking Pre-Algebra in 8th. So an A- isn't really that impressive.
Oh, and my school doesn't offer advanced courses, besides math. And of course I stink at math...</p>
<p>I also go to France every summer since I was about 6, because my step-dad is French, I have visited Italy last summer and was in London, England for a few days this summer. I also go to Canada to a lake-side cabin in the middle of no where for a bit every summer (except for this one, because of personal issues.)</p>
<p>I guess… Bump?</p>
<p>Umm… anyone?</p>
<p>Have you taken the SSATs yet? Maybe you should consider Millbrook, Portsmouth Abbey, Brooks, or Northfield-Mount Hermon.</p>
<p>No, I have not taken the SSAT. I plan on taking it in about a year, that way if I get below my goal (83%), I can re-take.
I looked into Brooks, but they didn’t have enough English courses for my taste.
I’ll look into the others.</p>
<p>stagemum-
I actually like NMH quite a bit. 
Portsouth Abbey isn’t for me, because I’m not Catholic. Also, I didn’t like Millbrook.</p>
<p>OMG, you have a lot of EC’s and Community Service! Just make sure you can do it all, and obviously stick to your goal for your grades. I’d say you have a good chance because not every middle schooler is into graphic design. And are you applying for the 2013-2014 school year? 'Cuz then you ‘have nothing to worry about’ haha because I’m in 8th grade ;)</p>
<p>Millbrook does a lot with community service. Why didn’t you like it?</p>
<p>@bigcelticsfan
I don’t like it because it doesn’t have enough courses for my taste…</p>
<p>aubreygal-
thanks! And yeah, I know it’s a strange thing… Hehe. And yeah, I’m applying for the 2013-2014 year. Hopefully we won’t die in 2012…</p>
<p>anyone else…?</p>
<p>You might find it helpful to reach out to schools that interest you and ask them to send information. Many schools have DVDs available with virtual campus tours.</p>
<p>silconvalleymom-
I don’t know if it’s a bit early for that… I’m still learning what I can from their websites. I don’t think I’m ready to take on an info packet.
Maybe in a couple months?</p>
<p>anyone…?</p>
<p>Annnnyyyoneeeeee???</p>
