Hi, I am a student from Fairfax, VA and I am applying to top boarding schools such as Milton, Groton, Deerfield, Loomis Chaffe, Northfield Mount Hermon, Hotchkiss, Lawrencevile, Hill, and Taft. I am currently attending public school as a 9th grader. I got pretty much all As but 1 B+ in my first quarter of 9th grade yr and got all As in 7th grade. I got all As in the first quarter of my 8th grade yr but i got 1C and 2 Bs in my third quarter(8th grade). My final average grades for each quarter ended up like A,A,B,A in 8th grade. I applied to Groton last year and I got waitlisted. I got 93% on SSAT last year as an 8th grader and got 85 % on October test this yr as a 9th grader. I m planning to take the SSAT again. I guess i m pretty confident about my extracurricular activities, interview, and essays. I m not applying for financial aid. Also, I might have some disadvantages on the recommadations cuz i was moving from place to place each yr. I just wanted to know whether I meet the “accepted students’ standard.” Is it possible for me to get accepted form any of the schools above?? In addition to that, I am applying to Groton and Milton as a repeat 9th grader, Would it possible for me to get into any of the school above??
