Hi! I am trying to find some boarding schools to apply to for this next admissions cycle. I tried applying for 2024-2025 but I had little luck. I applied to Exeter, Andover, Choate, and NMH. I live in a medium sized city in an area that doesn’t have many people go to boarding schools. My grades are straight A’s and I got 84 on my last SSAT in January but I am taking a prep class for this time around. I don’t have much for extracurriculars in middle school (I have theater, piano, and volunteering at a local library). My middle school was a very small private school and didn’t have any sports teams. But I am joining the golf and tennis teams in high school this next year (I am going to a local public school). I also started fencing, equestrian, and trapshooting (but may drop one to make room for other stuff). I will be joining DECA and Science Olympiad and maybe Math Club (competitions). I will need financial aid. I would love to row but there is no rowing or Model UN opportunities in my state. Here are the things I want in a school:
A few reach schools and a few safety schools
A good social atmosphere
Good connections
Well respected for education
Decent matriculation
Nice travel program
I really want to get attainable schools since I got rejected last tim
Its okay if all of the schools don’t match everything on my list. Thanks!
