What are my chances of getting into elite private schools? Which schools seem best for me to apply to?
I am looking into getting admission into Phillips Academy Andover and will also apply to several other elite private schools. I'm about to finish 7th grade and I am going to enroll during next year for 9th grade. I am a state winner at Texas History day, winning 4th place. I am part of NJHS, but I have yet to earn any service hours as I was just inducted less than a month ago. I have made it to the state competition for TMSCA last year. I also went up to regionals science fair in my city last year. I have all grades from this year and last year above 95. My average grade for all classes this year was 98.75, while lasts years was 98.88. I have yet to take my SSAT, but I am planning on taking it as soon as possible in October, aiming for 95th percentile. I am currently taking one high school credit class, Principles of Applied Engineering and I plan on taking Spanish 1 next year. I also play in my schools orchestra in the second best orchestra. I have played on my schools girls basketball team, and next year I will play in basketball, cross country, and track. I am very eager to get into this school to improve my academics as much as I can. Also, my family is from Pakistan. I dont know if applying for financial aid will affect my chances of getting in, preferably I do want to apply for it though. If theres any way I could strengthen my application, please give me advice! (Edit: I forgot to mention that I am fluent in 7 languages, idk if that would affect my application)
