Hi all! I am a student in MA applying to a few schools for the 9th grade year.

My main goals are Middlesex, Concord Academy, & Commonwealth

I really like Commonwealth but there is like no info online about their acceptance rates and such.

Here’s my stats

General

82 percentile SSAT score

8th grader - applying for 9th

White male

Not to sound tacky, but I would say I have a very nice character and personality - I have never had a teacher that did not like me.

School

As of now, I got to a decent sized school in a suburb of MA (about 270 kids in my grade)

For eighth graders, my school has three math classes: 8th Grade Math (“low math,” grade standard), Algebra. 1 Comprehensive (“middle math”), and Algebra 1 Extensive (similar to Comp. but has more challenging tests and actually do the entire Alg. 1 Unit.

-I am in Extensive

In all of my classes (including past 2 years) I have received All A’s, and a couple A+’s

Extracurriculars

I really don’t do many extracurriculars, except Boy-scouts and a club at my school that essentially helps the unfortunate.

Sports

Just Tennis & hockey, no awards
