apply early. apply as early as you can - that increases your chances.

yeah apply early, but it is so hard to tell w/o actual test scores, seems like you should have taken them already based on your junior yr. and such. you c/n go by what you got on the PSAT, it varies greatlty, a lot of my friends and I had a considerable d/f SAT than PSAT.

Do you know Katie Craig or Rohan Sud? they are great debaters, i have debated them a few times.

i go to arthur hill in saginaw. do you know alan crawford? he knows a bunch of people from detroit country day. yeah, like everyone says apply early, i applied in the first week of oct and was accepted a month and a half later. make sure you apply online, and that your test scores, transcripts, and recommendation letters get in the same time as your app.
