Applying: Exeter, Andover, Groton, Loomis, Milton, Taft, Kent, Mercersburg

General

Taiwanese student at a bilingual school

No legacy/ alumni

Attended PEA Summer (Access Exeter) 2 Honors + 1 Satisfactory (art)

SSAT: 84 V 99 M 96 R (94 Avg)

Academics

GPA: 3.95 ish??? except for 1 B in mandarin(but it holds 5 credits in freshmen year) all straight As

however i accidentally submitted my midterm report which was way worse (85 avg) for 5 subjects coz gateway did its auto submit thing

Not ranked

1 Honors Course (English Literature - the only offered one)

However I had to submit my midterm exam scores to 3 schools (Exeter, Andover, Milton) as they wouldn’t take things from late Feb which is when semester grades are released. The scores weren’t great and averaged to be a B. BUT They agreed to let me send my semester report when it comes like I’m doing for all other scores and I’m pretty sure that one is straight As + 4.0. Hopefully that shows improvement.

Recs and Essays and Interviews

i wanna say i have strong recs esp from my debate coach and my personal recommendation

i also got a rec from my associate principal which was actually really thoughtfully written

above average essays, i tried to be specific to each school in at least 1 answer

the interviews went pretty smoothly i had really fun conversations, i also continued emailing the schools
