<p>After a few days of assessing my application to boarding schools, I’ve finally faced the fact that I’m what they call a living worse-case scenario: Asian, needs basically full financial aid, first time with the whole process, fairly good SSATs but not perfect, and not many impressive hooks.</p>
<p>I really really really really want to apply next year, but am skeptical about my chances… Anybody have any thoughts on that? 
:eek: 
:eek: :(</p>
<p>apply next year with me!!!</p>
<p>I agree with hopeful 
You never know what will happen and you still have the essays to show schools where you can shine. I applied two years ago with and 89% for SSAT and not a lot of stuff going on that points me out same as you, but here i am now at Choate Give it a go. Never know until you try! Oh, and start early xD don’t wait until Winter Break to start essays :P</p>
<p>And study, study, study . . . and then retake the SSAT!</p>
<p>Haha azulhearts. Thats what I did this year with the essays! (only later…)</p>
<p>I’m in the same situation. Well I’m applying for the first time this year. Welcome! Applicants of 2011!</p>
