Hey guys! I’m new to CC and I’d like to know if I have a shot at the following BS.
I’m looking at Andover (I’m in love with this school!), Exeter, Emma Willard, Hotchkiss, Deerfield, Choate,Peddie, Kent and Tabor.
PS: Next year I’ll be a junior attending a nearby private school. I’m going to repeat 11th grade to spend two years at a boarding school and maybe a PG year.

I’m not as brilliant academically as many of the people I’ve seen here on CC (I have many B’s, one C…) but oh well.

Ok, stats:

Portuguese Female
Fluent in portuguese, spanish and french ( and self-studying Italian)

Academics…

9th grade:
AP French Lang (got a 5) A+
AP Spanish Lang (got a 4) A
English I Honors B+
Algebra I Honors C+
World History Honors B+
Int. Science Honors B+

10th grade:
AP US History A+
AP Biology B+
AP Psychology A
Algebra 2 Honors A
English 3 Honors A
Portfolio 2 A+
Ceramics 3 A+

EC’s and outside of school activities…

-I’m a really good artist. (My works have been featured in galleries in Portugal, and I’ve won many awards. I may submit some of my artwork to the Scholastic’s Competition and hoooopefully win )


I am not really outstanding at any sports, but give me a tennis racket and I’ll be happy
I’m also in the volleyball team at my school.
I love to write. I’ve sent a novel I’ve been working on for the past two years to a Portuguese publisher, and hopefully I’ll get published (although I still haven’t heard from them)
I write poems and short stories. My novel falls into the young adult category…fantasy/romance lovers out there will love it as much as my little group of fans do :)
As for community service…uhm. I think I have 40-50 hours done mostly at the local hospital, an animal shelter and some community events.
I’m in the french club, spanish honor society, beta club, art club, national honor society, etc


And thats pretty much it. I’m really worried about the interviews, though. I’m the most introvert person you’ll ever meet…I wish I were a more charismatic/charming girl.

If you have any suggestions or advice, I’d really appreciate it :)

Thank you!!!
