What was your score for the Slep Test? Some boarding schools require applicants who have 58+ SLEP score to provide TOEFL or SSAT scores, or to interview to determine whether the students' English proficiency and SLEP results are consistent. We will need more information to provide you with the best recommendation.

US schools stress BOTH academics as well as extracurricular activities. They want students who are well rounded and have the followings:
High level of English
-Good grades
-Good test scores
-Outstanding extracurricular activities
-Good interview
-Good essays

They would also like to see students who have initiative, have leadership skills, are able to make friends easily, is strong academically, and speaks and write English well.

To prepare for the interviews, read more English books and watch a lot of US TV, talk to a lot of students who are native English speakers, go to summer school, etc.

可以考虑美国junior boarding school，是非常棒的学校，我今天刚刚走访了bement school这所顶级寄宿初中，就在顶级牛校Deerfield 的学校边上，我开车就3分钟不到的车程，这些顶级寄宿初中没有高中部，所以申请上美国TOP50的高中非常的多，您的孩子目前欠缺的是时间轴，需要好好规划一下，slep难度太低了，美国的好学校基本不认可了，需要好好准备托福junior和SSAT，是非常重要的，另外就是匹配孩子的特长和爱好了，希望有机会可以帮到孩子，加油

您好：请问是打算今年5年级申请6年级吗？如果你的目标学校是寄宿学校，建议开始着手准备小托福和SSAT，申请明年秋季。今年走读很多好的学校还可以申请，但大部分优质好的学校要小托福成绩。有些顶尖走读学校，申请6年级也要SSAT或者ISEE成绩。

明年6申7的话，好的寄宿初中需要小托福和SSAT中级考试。

考小托福和SSAT吧！

申请六年级吗？先得有托福成绩和ssat或者isee成绩。今年申请好学校已经相对晚了一些。明年申请机会更好。
