Do I have any chance at Andover?

c/o 2031, applying for 9th grade incoming 2027

demographics: asian, female

Sports/ecs:
- in diving, I was on the 2025-2026 aau junior national team, multiple time national qualifier, 3x national finalist (top 12), probably going to be top 10 this year, and also I was on the 2025-2026 USA diving tier 3 high performance squad.
- I also do softball on the side, but only for the town so there’s not a lot of stats there.
- RCM (royal conservatory of music) level 10 in piano
- ASTACAP level 6 in violin

Random Achievements (?);
- 6th grade AMC8 score of 21, but I don’t do a lot of math competitions
- 7th Grade NSE(National Spanish Exam) gold

I’m taking the SSAT in august, so I don’t have a score yet.

Also, this doesn’t seem like a lot compared to other profiles I’ve seen, and I don’t have time for any volunteer hours or projects like that. What would my chances be?

I've read some of the books but I just heard about the graphic novels. Unfortunately, none of my nearby libraries have it without a wait time of more than a month, so I was wondering if anyone had links to it. As far as I know, I couldn't find the graphic novels on oceanofpdf, only the regular books.
TIA :)

my own MOTHER wants me DEAD I literally recorded her saying that by the way and she said she freaking regretted having me and then she almost got us into a car crash in the middle of the road. (The reason for this completely random outburst was literally me saying I was sorry in a tone she thought was too irritable.) So I go home, and she tells me to basically gtfo and not come back, but luckily my dad got her upstairs and I went to do my homework. Oh but naturally my tools are right next to me. I was clean for like TWO WEEKS (longest for a while) but nooo, I had to reach for them. I'm actually just so done and burnt out from everything, piano, violin, diving, school, friends that don't even care, EVERYTHING AGHHHH

just felt the need to vent, sorry for wasting your time. I tried to be subtle with the sh part, mods please let me know if this breaks any rules about explaining/glorifying self harm (pretty sure it doesn't, but I typed this out in a complete rush so don't take my word for it)
