First of all it s great you got a 99 in reading, but they only count the reading comprehension part. Worst part is they don t even tell you. You have to do good on your entrance exam, especially the math portion. Which census tract are you located in 1,2,3,4? That helps determine on your acceptance. Be extremely careful though, missing 1percentile can ruin all your chances. This one person I know got 989 and was not accepted. I got 90 in reading comp. and 99 math, but I live in a lower census tract so that helps. You can find your census tract at selectiveenrollment.org if you haven t already. Other wise I d say you have a pretty good chance. Good Luck, hopefully we both can get in! I don t want to go to my neighborhood school wither. Mather...
you would have to do great on the selective enrollment test that is coming up soon, if you do good on that then you should get in. just so you know your current grades aren t looke at, they look at your 7th grade final grades. Good luck, and also, you can apply to four selective enrollment schools, i think you know that, walter payton is the hardest out of all to get into, then northside, then whitny young, so i hope you put whitney young as your second choice.
