Hi, I’m a current freshman hoping to reclass as a 9th grader again or to apply to be a sophomore year for PHILLIPS ACADEMY ANDOVER. Unfortunately, the deadline has passed; but fortunately, they just opened a second round of admissions. I’m on financial aid (but the process is need-blind, so I don’t think that matters too much), and I’m applying to a boarding student. I would appreciate any advice; please chance me!!!

Below is really just my CV, but on my Candidate Profile, I emphasized my passion for neuroscience research and writing and my leadership skills.

(Also, I know the tag doesn’t match to my thread, but I’m new here and I didn’t know what to put lol. Sorry!)
