For the boy, you should aim for a range of schools, including the 3 you selected. You might also consider one or two in California where he might meet the children of people involved in the movie industry. The US is a very large country compared to most Asian countries, so you will find a high standard beyond the top 10-20. If you read through old threads, you will find discussions about the level of competition for Asians, especially Koreans. This has something to do with the number of visas and the fact that schools do not want more than 5% of their students to come from one international country. Many schools restrict the number of dramatic productions in which you can participate because of a team sports requirement, so you should investigate this. For the girl, take a look at the Masters School. I have no personal experience with how this school might react to her grades, but I do know that they have a good reputation and are strong in the arts. You might consider this school for the boy too. It is a short train ride from New York City which has all the Broadway theaters. While the % boarding there is low, I hear that many of the boarders are from Asia. You might also consider Blair Academy which is where my son attends. They have been building their arts programs over the last 10 years and might be interested in students who can contribute to it. They have a great video production program if there is any interest in that.
