Hi. I’m a 10th grader applying for The Lawrenceville School for 11th grade (fourth form) as a day student. I attend a smaller private school in the area, but want to swap to be able to have more resources and opportunities. I’m nervous because people are saying that its nearly impossible to get into Lville going into 11th or 12th. I don’t want to repeat a year though.**

The reason why I have a B is due to my teacher not receiving assignments that I submitted on time, which she didn’t count when she did receive it. I complained to the Principal but she said she couldn’t do anything about it.
I also plan on starting my training to become an EMT in January. I’m applying for FA, although I’m not sure I will receive much. From what I’ve seen, a 1300 on the PSAT is around the average for what students get in lville. I was accepted into Peddie last year (going into 10th), but my parents didn’t think it was a good fit for me.
