How can I get enrolled at Phillips Exeter Academy?

Paying for College

<p>Hello, I am currently studying in the 7th grade. Which in a couple of months I will be studying in 8th grade. I’ve been preparing for the SSAT, I have bought a book called ‘‘Cracking the SSAT and ISEE 2010 Edition’’ by the Princeton Review. I’m looking forward to get a score of 2400. I’ve been very serious about it, so could you guys give me some sources on how to get a score of 2400 in the SSAT. I want to also know if they will check my 7th grade report cards or not, because I’ve done bad this year. Due to the financial recession, I’ve missed some of my classes. Though, this year I got a lot of average scores and I’ve been really worried that they would see my 7th grade report cards. I’m looking forward to do my best in 8th grade by getting all A’s and a couple of B’s. So will top prep schools like Exeter check my 7th grade report cards or will they only check my 8th grade report cards? Currently my dad is jobless, since his income is 0. Will I also be able to get financial aid?</p>

<p>Thank you.</p>

<p>The chances of making a perfect 2400 are pretty low. I’m not saying that it’s impossible, but don’t beat yourself up if you don’t get a 2400. Studying, however, will help you get a high score. Just keep practicing.</p>

<p>I’m pretty sure that Exeter will check your 6th, 7th, and 8th grade report cards. That’s how they get an idea of what kind of student you are. Perhaps you could explain to them that you had trouble during your 7th grade year?</p>

<p>When I looked at Exeter’s financial aid page, it said that they would allow students to attend for free if their parents didn’t make over $75,000 a year.</p>
