<p>If I have won many science prize and high score of SSAT, I can get into ten schools?</p>
<p>Depends on what schools, how many you apply to, how prestigious those prizes are, what your grades are, and which way the wind is blowing.</p>
<p>We can’t really say without more information.</p>
<p>ten schools or all members of Ten Schools? What’s your question again?</p>
<p>Again, what Uroogla said. Depends on the science prize: If it was like… the Nobel prize, then sure, but if it was a small, school award, hmm…</p>
<p>High SSAT scores don’t mean anything. Lots of people get 99s, and I’ve seen people with high 90s get rejected.</p>
<p>I 'm sorry.I forgot writting that my GPA is very bad and I’m a korean.But I have many science prize for example Prime Minister’s Science Prize contest, First grade math test, First grade science test, Writting contest award of excellent.I will apply to Choate Rosemary Hall, Phillips academy.I live in Korea.</p>
<p>I will take part in Korea Mathmetics Olympiad next january.</p>
<p>Will they really care about your tests from first grade</p>
<p>yea I don’t think they will care about awards in the first grade unless they are extremely spectactular. They look at more recent awards and more prestigious ones.</p>
<p>(@urbanflop what grade are you going in to? Hopefully I’ll be at Exeter in Sept. 2010 also)</p>
<p>i think he/she/it means like first class or like first prize…you know like a level of achievement not first grade as in the year after kindergarden</p>
<p>Why do you need “ten schools”? You know you can only attend one. I think your English needs improvement. That could be a problem.</p>
<p>high SSAT score doesn’t really matter, as long as it’s in the 85 up range I’m pretty sure that you’re still good and I’ve heard people getting lower than that and still getting into the schools (but they have high academic/athletic achievement). Are you applying with financial aid?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah, sorry but I agree. You need to work on your grammar and spelling. And the fact that you’re Korean is kind of a disadvantage, because there are loads of people from Korea applying to top schools with good GPA’s and some awards while you have a bad GPA and some awards…they can only admit so many Koreans. There’s also so much more to getting into boarding school than awards and SSAT scores…there’s the interview, essays, grades, what type of classes you’re taking…lots of other stuff that you need to really nail to get into the top schools.</p>
<p>(@2010 hopeful i’m in 8th grade applying for 9th grade in 2010)</p>
<p>(@urbanflop awwww im going to be in 10th grade in sept 2010. lol)</p>
<p>Thanks NoDrama.I think so too.I have finished studying English grammer.So I can read English.But I haven’t finished studying writting English.So I can’t writte English well.So I’m going to study English more harder.I mean math test level is after high school~university.For exmple, Integral differential, Linear algebra.Do they require more high level or more prestigious?This math test is the most of famous test in Korea.</p>
<p>Being good at math is one thing, but I think mastering English really is necessary. Since you’re an international I believe you have to take the TOEFL?</p>
<p>@Apple Bom</p>
<p>The reason there was some confusion is because, at least here, a “first grade math test” means “a math test one takes when one is 6 years old” rather than “receiving a very high grade on a math examination.”</p>
<p>Those topics you listed go to the very end of the math curriculum at Phillips Andover, and even Phillips Exeter doesn’t offer many topics beyond that.</p>
<p>Humanities courses will be very difficult because they are all very writing intensive, so these schools may have some trepidation in accepting you. Nevertheless, you write English better that I’ve learned to write the languages I’ve studied, so congratulations for that.</p>
<p>I have to sutudy English very hard.How much TOEFL ibt score do they require?
How about SLEP test?
I will apply for financial aid.
I want to get into top 40 schools in America.</p>
<p>I’m not sure what the average TOEFL scores of the schools you wish to apply to are, but they’re bound to be high so I would suggest concentrating on that area because whether or not you can speak english well is important. Good luck! I’m Korean myself but I’m not an international. Language barriers are hard, but they can be overcome!</p>
