Chance me Andover, Exeter, Deerfield, Choate, Hotchkiss

I am just looking for some feedback on what CCers think of my paper stats. I know you can't tell me if I'll get in or not but..? Please chance me with a percentage. I'm in 8th grade, applying for 9th. I do not need FA. I have moved to America in the past two years, so my English still needs a bit of work. I am an under represented nationality, or so I've been told. Please chance me, and give me the honest truth. Thank you.

-Precalculus Honours
-World History Honours

I hope my recommendations were good. I wouldn't see why my teachers would want to slander me. I think I do pretty well in their classes.

I wrote my essays on when I first tried snowboarding, and how I repeatedly failed at it. But in the end I succeeded. Um, I think it was good, but I can't really tell based on other people getting all these writing awards.
My interviews went really well I think. My interviewers (all but one) said I'd be a good match to the school. I didn't get a chance to visit any coaches or anything to do with my ECs though, I notice a lot of people have, will this hurt me?

-I was asked to place in a highly rated band in my city where you must be an absolutely outstanding performer to be asked to join

I do not know if I have any "hooks." Please tell me if you believe I do, because I keep freaking out about it.

Thank you very much!

Well said. (<-------howmanycharsizthz?????)

Very well said, starz27.

But... seriously, 8 sports? That's just stupid. There are only three athletic trimesters.

istoleyournose! · 02-14-2009, 11:52 AM

This person is a troll, a fake, and a jerk for posting this crap. I'm so sure this is fake I'm not even going to bother apologizing in case it's real like I usually do. This is just so stupid...

xoxohersheykiss · 02-14-2009, 12:16 PM

you totally ruined my thoughts of possibly going to the prep schools i'm applying for..

goldilon · 02-14-2009, 12:35 PM

Sorry, I don't think you have much of a chance.

principalviola · 02-14-2009, 01:02 PM

Troll...
Anyway how can you actively be involved in 8 sports. 3 trimesters. Oh well.

cheeseviolin · 02-14-2009, 07:46 PM

RingTingTing · 02-14-2009, 08:34 PM

Ugh, there's always the one...

principalviola · 02-14-2009, 10:03 PM

Italian apparently, if his posts are correct, around 64 posts. Think he just divided it by eight?

starz27 · 02-14-2009, 10:15 PM

huh? principleviola, what are you talking about?

principalviola · 02-14-2009, 10:17 PM

If you look at a lot of his posts Italianboarder tells us he has a lot of sports and basically "brags" about his amazing stats. Was a joke saying this is him.. Is it him? Idk

askjeeves · 02-15-2009, 04:33 AM

Italianboarder plays hockey...I don't see hockey anywhere on there....

Let's try not to make assumptions, as flame wars are to come.

RingTingTing · 02-15-2009, 05:55 AM

Only if he jumps into this thread. If not, I think we're safe
