Open Question: Please help, what are my chances of getting into an elite boarding school?
Applying as a repeating junior I received 91st percentile on my PSATs Varsity Soccer since sophmore year (only two sophmores made the team) Head of Vestry Commitee A leader of the Student government as a junior. Head Acolyte Spokesperson my freshman year Amazing interview, he loved me. Straight A's freshman year at a school ranked ninth in the nation by the Wall road Journal. A's and B+'s my Sophmore and Junior year my tour guide wrote a great rec for me my teachers every wrote great recs I applied to my schools by myself and the boarding school knows this because i drove myself to my interview and i also did every of the calls and appointments *** important*** i received 3 letters for heads of soccer, skiing, and math departments last week and they said they heard from admissions that i was interesting in these things and that maybe I will look be participating for this boarding school next year.... I DONT KNOW IF THEY SEND THESE TO EVERYONE! My school doesnt offer APs but I was in Honors Math with an A-/B+, and Honors English with B+, and my physics was an A, spanish was an A, History was a B. interviewer liked the program that I participated in two summers ago and I am gathering supplies from company like staples etc, to help the native american people who live in Montana, my essay was def unique my worries are that i am applying as a repeat junior, my grades are not straight A's but i am way over average at a very competetive school, and my PSATs were at 91st percentile which is like a 185 i think and I am against very qualified students. I am not a guy who has tons of clubs or beaten by my parents to do well in school; i am self-driven and do things i think i like to do... so i am also scared that when im against that kid who is taking 1000 APs and in every comunity service thing possible, I will look like a joke... the interviewer also said that I was one of the most well-spoken individuals she had talked to this year and that i would be a wonderful addition to the debate team because i have a way with words and acting calm below pressure... thanks for the help, and hopefully u can tell me the chances that I have at being admitted to this extremely competetive boarding school
