<p>I’m applying as a freshman girl to Deerfield, Exeter, Taft, and Blair. I live in Kentucky and I am of middle eastern descent (if that matters).
I currently go to a private catholic school, one of the best in my city. I need financial aid.</p>

<p>I have been taking Algebra 1 since 7th grade, I am in advanced Spanish and will go into Spanish 3 in high school.
Grades for this year (we dont use A+ or A- system)</p>

<p>Chemistry – A
Algebra – A
Social Studies – A
Religion – A
Composition – B
Literature – B
Spanish – A</p>

<p>I also know Italian. I volunteer 4 hours a week to tutor kids Spanish and also 2 hours a week at a cancer center. So far I have volunteered 60+ hours since August. My extracurriculars:</p>

<p>Field Hockey – 4 years
Volleyball – 2 years
Tennis – 4 years
Dance (ballet) – off and on for 7 years, Im going to start it again though</p>

<p>I also do theatre/acting, track, and choir but not as much as the ones above.</p>

<p>My SSAT scores (the best of each section, i took it more than once)</p>

<p>Math - 71%
Reading – 78%
Verbal – 92%
Overall – 82%</p>

<p>Interviews were good, especially for Blair, recommendations should be okay, and essays were good I thought. </p>

<p>I just want to see what others would think of my chances with financial aid?</p>

<p>And also, does anyone know if any of these schools (Deerfield, Exeter, Taft, and Blair) are need-blind? I asked my interviewer at Blair and they said that Blair is but you never know if they were just lying or not. And on Deerfields website it says they are but Im not sure.</p>

<p>Exeter is not need blind.</p>

<p>your ECs look good, so do your grades and SSATs. I’d say your a really strong candidate, good luck!</p>

<p>thanks! i’m just worried that since I’m applying for financial aid, that will hurt my chances. Does anyone know if Deerfield is need blind?</p>
