My parents just found out about Hotchkiss, and since I’m now in 10th grade, they’re CRAZY (literally) about me getting into Hotchkiss but I’m not so sure with my grades.

I have a 98 weighted GPA
My current classes are (and their grades last mp):
Latin 3 (which really should be latin honors, but is not) (A)
English Honors (B+)
Math B Honors (A+)
World History AP (89… SO close)
Architechture (A)
Physics AP (100)

I’m a member of Science Research,
Also of JSA (Junior Statesmen of America)
and to a certain extent, chess (I got several 1st place section trophies in my closet)

I’ve been playing guitar for several years now,
Play piano (not too well),
I also play golf with my dad every weekend,
And I do 3 hours of community service in my neighborhood every week.

In middle school, I got several awards, including those for
School Service
Meteorology
Math A
and for doing a bio-medical project in collaboration with the hospital on Sleep Apnea.

I know Korean, English, and am learning Japanese and Latin, know very little Chinese,
and I also know some very, very basic German.

My academic history is as follows:
I went to Catholic school as a young child from K-3(and 1 half)
I also went to Korea for a year, starting in 4th grade,ending before 5th (and winning some recognitions on the way)
Came back to America, and entered halfway through 5th grade,
and here I am now.

I’ve been getting some really disappointing grades last year, and I think my average would be a lot higher if this year’s grades were factored in.

Finally, I got a 1900 in the SATs during 8th grade and I got a 210 on the PSATs this year.

Not a lot, but yea…
Any comments?
