Dear Sir/Madam, I participated in the State MathCounts competition on March 23rd. In it, I tied for 11th place, but was placed 12th on tiebreakers. I was 1 point away from being in the top 10. I have been doing MathCounts since 6th grade and have been on the school team (1 of 4 members) in both 7th and 8th grade. Last year, my school team placed second in the state. This year, my school team placed first in the state. Also, this year, I won my class, school, and county spelling bees and placed 5th in the district spelling bee. I hope these achievements will convince you to admit me to Exeter. It has been my dream since entering the 7th grade, to get admitted to Exeter. I think I am a great candidate to enter your prestigious school. Sincerely,

(Pranay Vemulamada)
