Hi so I just want to know my chances of getting into Lakeside.

SSAT Score (so far): 98 %ile overall, 96 Verbal, 89 Reading, 98 Quantitive, total score 2274 -taking again b/c aiming for 99%ile-

Grades: Straight-A’s in 7th grade (last year) and in First Trimester of 8th (just started 2nd Tri)

Gender: Female

Race: Asian-American (disadvantage??)

Age: recently turned 13 (young for my grade)

Hobbies: Painting and drawing (9 years), skiing (3 years), dancing (ballet, jazz, lyrical) (4 years), piano (7 years), musical composition (2 years), writing (since school? haha) NOT SPORTY, VERY INTO ALL ARTS (music, visual art, writing)

Awards: 2 Superior Ratings (piano), 1 Honorable Mention (piano), 1 Second Place (MC), 1 Third Place (MC), 1 Regional Winner (writing–poem), 1 Event Winner (writing–essay)

Other: I volunteer, do public speaking/debate camps

Interview: went :-/ … broke eye contact a few times, seemed a little awkward, no thank-you note (didn’t think of it)

Financial Aid: Nope

Applied Before: Yeah, in 6th grade, but then I was a B+ ish student (never tried until rejected by Lakeside) and had 88 %ile for the SSAT

*I’m just really nervous because I was confident (idk why) in 6th grade but I got rejected and cried for 4 hours :)) *

Thanks for sacrificing your time for this thing that won’t affect you
