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!

这些学校都非常难，即使你感觉面试很好，即使有面试官给你手写信件，也不好说。因为，身边的对手也是十项全能，而且个个不简单。,

如果你只是博一下，申不上，就回原来的上海学校继续读书，未来考虑直接申本，这样选校没有任何问题。,

至于校内gpa，要看学校怎么看。有的在意，会因此不给你offer。有的认为不是大问题，反而被你面试中的某些特质吸引。所以不好说，看运气，甚至看哪个招生官的眼光。

只申请三所？几年级？......风险挺大的。

你好，申请几年级没说，要是申请10年级的话，难度会增加很多。

从你的描述看，你是一个兴趣爱好广泛很有热情的孩子，标化成绩也达到了申请上述学校的条件，已经进入PK队列了。你问这个问题是想让大家帮你分析你更适合哪所学校还是录取的几率多大？如果是前者，三所学校都可以满足你的学术要求，Hotchkiss和Groton都有游泳校队，既然已经去校园面试，更喜欢哪所学校，你应该已经有自己的想法了；如果是后者，你自己的感觉会更准确，进入候选池之后，你的面试、与招生官的沟通起决定作用。跟招生官保持必要有效的沟通会对你后续的录取有帮助，祝好运！

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.
