What are my chances of getting into Phillips Andover?

What are my chances for these highschools?

  • I know i shouldnt be so worried and all, but im just wondering about my chances getting into these 3 schools i applied for. All 3 are high ranked private schools, and im a pretty average student so im really scared. :[ The Schools *lawerenceville *andover *peddie My grades for the first marking period ( the ones the highschools look at) wasnt my best, but not my worst. All A's and 3 B's. Luckly, the B's didnt go lower than 87. I heard some of the good highschools dont even look at you if you have a B or under. 0_0 is that true?!? The things that are holding me up are my extracurricular activities. I played soccer for 6 years on the traveling team and tennis for 7 years. I also do track and a little softball. I play piano and guitar,and for band played flute. im in chorus, student gov,and band at school. and im highly involved in my church. my SSAT scores were *so-so* i acually dont even know how they grade it but.. english-71% math-46% reading-62% themathwasreallybleh

  • Answer:

    You have pretty good chances at Lawrenceville and Peddie, but Andover is a reach. Your grades and ECs are average, but your SSAT is well below average for these schools (Andover is 94% and Lawrenceville is around 88%, I don't know Peddie's). Good luck, I hope you get in!

I'm a freshmen at a college prep school in the suburbs of Philadelphia. I went to Catholic grade school, and am a pretty good student. My teachers wrote me good letters of recommendation and I got my acceptance letter in december of last year. Girls in my class, who weren't as advanced with the actual schoolwork who played sports got in, too. You sound like a pretty well-rounded person that a school would like to have as a student. I'd say you have pretty good chances. (Even if you don't get in right away, don't lose hope, when someone else declines, who knows, you could be next on the list!)
