<p>Hi, I’m a 13 year old living in SC. I’m looking to apply for a boarding school, but I could use some help on deciding which ones.
My grades are usually 97+
I made a 600 on the reading comp. section of the SAT, 620 on writing, and a 10/12 on my essay. (Took SAT in 7th grade)
I took an SSAT prep test and scored in the 96th percentile.
My extracurriculars:
Volleyball(2 years) Captain
Basketball(8 years) Captain
Track and field(2 years) Girls field captain
Student council(3 years) Hopefully president
Clarinet(3 years)
Yearbook(8th graders only,1 year)
Write it to win it( 2 years)
I’ve also participated duke tip, CTY, and Exeter’s summer school.
Demographically speaking, I’m african american.
So basically, I’m looking for a diverse school that utilizes the harkness method. Im also looking for a progressive school, so to speak.
I’m passioniate about philosophy and international relations, and hope to take courses like these in high school.
Which schools do I have a good chance at? And which ones fit my personality?
Thanks for your help.(:

<p>Looking Boarding School Review. You seem like a great candidate.</p>
<p>This is totally a spontaneous response, but reading your profile, I immediately thought “Lawrenceville.”</p>
<p>You should definitely check out Loomis Chaffee-it prides itself on its diverse community, and its girls’ volleyball, basketball, and T&F teams are one of the best in New England. The school always wants to hear from its students about how it can improve!</p>
<p>I looked up lawrenceville and loved it.</p>
<p>The Saint James School in Maryland has a significant population from South Carolina/</p>
