SSAT: I’m not a naturally good standardized test taker but have been preparing immensely (aiming for 95+ SSAT, I have a virtual tutor)
Interview: I think interview went well… I forgot to talk about wanting to be challenged for my Andover one but it’s ok? (will update)
Essay: GREAT but dose not mention the school, it’s not a why this school it’s a tell us your story or I’m just responding to prompts but I have a lot of people reviewing them teachers, students, and other
Recommendations: Trying to not sound cocky but I have very good relationships with my teachers and have faith in them! Also my supplemental recs will be from teachers and people at my school I’ve known for years (one of them is my friend’s mom who works at my school)
Sports:
I horseback ride (will mention this in character snapshot and video)
Club soccer since as long as I can remember have been a state finalist and won some regional tournaments (will try to connect with coaches) THOUGH SOCCER IS EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE AND I WILL MOST LIKELY BE A JV1 PLAYER
Cross Country: This season I should be able to run a sub 14
should I submit a prospect athlete form for cross country or soccer?
Golf: I play golf for my school but am not talented at all (51 is my score for 9 holes on average?) talked a lot about how golf allowed me to try something new, take a risk, and encourage other arround me to take risks in my interview
