<p>Hi, I am a Taiwanese girl who is currently attending an IB international school in Rome. Before I came to Rome I have lived in New York, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. I am planning to apply for Exeter, Andover, and Deerfield as an 11th grader in 2010. </p>

<p>I speak fluent Chinese, Cantonese and English. I studied Italian when I first came to Rome and I have been studying Spanish for a year now. </p>

<p>I have a GPA of 3.92( all As except for PE, which I receive a B-). I am in English Advanced class and Geometry Advanced class( the only 2 advanced classes offered). </p>

<p>This year I received awards for outstanding performance in English, Geometry, Biology, Wes. Civ, Computer, and Spanish. </p>

<p>I am not good at sports in general but I am a fairly good table tennis player. I was in the school choir when I was in 6th grade( in Hong Kong) and 8th grade( Rome). I also play the piano( I was about to take the grade 5 piano exam in Hong Kong but then we moved to Rome).</p>

<p>I was one of the finalists of the Hong Kong Outstanding Students Election in 2006( in 6th grade).</p>

<p>I was a member of the Chinese Dance club in my middle school in Hong Kong. I was chosen as Student of the Class when I was in 7th grade.</p>

<p>Presently I am not in any of the clubs but I plan to write for the school literary magazine and join the drama club next year. </p>

<p>What are the chances of my getting into the aforementioned schools and what can I do to increase my chance of acceptance?</p>

<p>I’m confused. When you say “Exeter” you’re talking about the private high school Philips Exeter Academy, right? </p>

<p>The transfer students forum is aimed at people who are transferring to other colleges, so you’ll probably get better opinions on the high school students subforum.</p>

<p>al6200: this is NOT a transfer student forum, it’s for high school students who are seeking admission to private high schools (prep schools).
coldfire: I think you have a good chance; just join more clubs, make sure you have something special to show to the admission officers. Are you an international student (non-American citizen)?</p>
