I am considering applying next year. It is literally the best school that I can possibly attend. Any tips? There is a diagnostic test which I am a bit worried about… Since I would be applying as a sophomore, going to the school as a junior (they only take juniors and seniors at the school and the senior class takes college courses with WPI), what would be beneficial to make sure I learn and know? The Academy is made for high-achievers and only accepts 45% of its applicants (50 students)…

My current and next year schedule look like this for you to base your responses on (don’t chance me please! its not what i am looking for)

Freshman Year

Biology H
Freshman English H
Health and Fitness
Computer Essentials
US History I H
Algebra 2 H
Geometry H
Spanish 2 H


EC before the school year: job at doctor’s office for 2.5 years
EC during the school year: Basketball, XC, Student Government, self taught programming languages
Summer: job at doctor’s office, shadowing a pathologist, Harvard MedScience Program (if accepted), and volunteering at hospital

Sophmore Year

Chemistry H
Sophmore English H
Health & Fitness
AP US History
PreCalculus H
Spanish 3 H
Physics H
Robotic Technology H


EC: (Basketball, Student Government, Science Club, Robotics)

I am unsure what I will find on this diagnostic test. I am very worried about it …

Again, any tips about this diagnostic test? or anything else in general?
