<p>I have a couple of school’s i want to apply to and want some advice about the ssat’s and want to know if i can get in:</p>
<p>Choate Rosemary Hall
Hotchkiss School
Middlesex School
Milton Academy
Lawrenceville School
Loomis Chaffee School
St. Andrew’s School
Peddie School
Taft School
St. George’s School
St. Mark’s School
Westminister School
Concord Academy</p>
<p>I am an honor roll/high honor roll student, in my school’s honor society program, and i usually have most a’s and very few if any b’s during the school years ive had</p>
<p>For ssat’s study vocab and take your time! that’s all
And i hope you have extra curriculars because it is very very very very hard to get in without any
that would include any sports, instruments, theater, clubs, community service, etc</p>
<p>good luck! I have a friend that goes to Westminster and I know somebody going to Loomis next year. They both had good grades and played sports but neither were hooks exactly so don’t think because you didn’t compete nationally at some competition that you won’t get in!</p>
<p>dont fret on SSAT’s too much the SSAT only compinsates for if you have low grades, if your grades are currently low you will want to generally have a higher SSAT but the SSAT is such a small factor in boarding school admissions now since more than 80%percent of the kids who apply are academically capable you will want to focuas more on your interviews and personal essays more than anything. the SSAT is just a number and you can prove alot more during your interview and essays, none the less they still do matter just not very much anymore.</p>
<p>Im planning to run for an 8th grade class office next year and play soccer and basketball. but i have very limited extracirriculars because i live in new jersey and there’s the school funding problem</p>
<p>This is a great time for you to request information from all of the schools that interest you. The Ten Schools Association website is a fast way to request information from some of the schools on your list.
It’s also time to get an SSAT practice book and read through it, taking a practice exam at home. On this board, it seems like many students find that they need to spend a little time studying vocabulary or math concepts before the actual exam.</p>
<p>I can only speak about Peddie applications, because that’s all I know of. The admissions officers definitely understand the whole thing with school funding in NJ, so as long as you tell them what you’ve done before or wanted to do before it was cut, it’d not be a problem. However, your grades have to be pretty good and your recs awesome, as well as a good interview to get in. Talking to some of the admissions people I know, they say they not only look for someone who is really smart and can handle the work, but also someone who can bring something to the community, whether it be a friendly and open personality or a can-do attitude.</p>
<p>Hi, I attend milton academy and currently am looking to transfer to the Lawrenceville school. My GPA is around a 3.5/ 3.6 and I have a ton of extracurricular. I run varsity track and wrestle on varsity. I perform copious amounts of international community service and I am on tech/stage crew. What are my chances of being able to successfully transfer to the Lawrenceville school from milton academy?</p>
<p>It’s a wonderful school academically; however, culturally, Milton is not as well rounded as many people believe. There is a great divide between boarders and day students; additionally, I feel unfulfilled here. I feel as though I was falsely advertised a product. Don’t get me wrong, academically, I love it. However, that’s the only aspect that I enjoy at Milton.</p>
