Hi! I am Calvin and I am currently studying in Shanghai High School International Division. I am considering to apply to Groton School,The Hotchkiss School, and Concord Academy. I visited all three schools and finished my interviews already. I even managed to contact the Director for History Department for Groton School and we had a hearty chat. The Director for Admission(The lady who interviewed me) for Groton School actually wrote me a handwritten letter after the interview! My SSAT score is a 94%(2226) and my TOEFL is a 106. I performed well in the Iowa Assessment Test and finishing with a 98 percentile. I am really passionate about History,Debate and Geography. I got the first place for History Bowl in Asia and was ranked forth in Local Round for World Scholar's Cup. I also like to swim and I got 4 medals for my school's swimming competition. My only problem is that my score in school is not that satisfactory.Thank you!
小编翻译:我叫Calvin现就读于上海高中国际部,现在在考虑申请的学校为Groton School,The Hotchkiss School, and Concord Academy. 三所学校都已经走访过且完成了面试环节,我还和Groton历史系的主任联系过,有过非常愉快的对话。Groton面试我的招生办主任在面试结束后还给我写了一封手写的信件。SSAT2226(94%),托福为106,Iowa Assessment Test中表现也很好98%。我对历史、辩论和地理特别有兴趣,曾获得过亚洲历史杯的第一名,还在世界学者杯的当地比赛中得了第四名。我也很喜欢游泳,学校的游泳竞赛中得过四块奖牌。我唯一的问题就是在校成绩不完全令人满意。能否帮忙评估下我的情况和学校,谢谢大家!
What do you mean by 'not that satisfactory'? The schools you are applying are not expecting all straight A students, but if it's straight B, you'll get a lot of explaining works to do.
