chances for me to get into schools

Hi, I'm a 9th grader and am looking at many prestigious schools in the East for the 10th grade... I must get into a school at least but am asking for a favor to value my chances in going to schools.

Grade: As (A-s only in Honors English and Honors Science)
Sport: Soccer Squash Lacrosse. I'm particularly talented in squash, and am 3 sport varsity
Community Service: Help the handicapped 3 days a week (it's hard), and I'm also going to Southeast Asia for a week
Music: Chorus and Accappella, Band (Clarinet and Alto Sax 3 years)
Sustainability Committee (just like Go Green!)

Oh and I go to a junior boarding school.

I'm applying to HADES, Choate, Lawrenceville, and 2 safety schools(suffield, st. george)

What are my chances of getting in? I'm Top 5 at my school...

P. S. My school is famous for getting students good into schools. 4 Andover, 1 Exeter, tons of Deerfield and St. Pauls and Choate

P. S. 2: SSAT 89% w/o studying. I'm aiming for 98% or more after studying hard this summer. Peace peole

No one can tell you you your chances of getting into a baording school becasue we are not admissions officers and we do not know what specific schools are looking for. We can however, tell you whether or not we think you are qualified.
I think you're qualified

. An 89% without studying? That's better than some people's scores after taking it twice! You are also really well rounded (music, sports, community service) but then again, many applicants are. Just focus on getting good recs, writing good essays, and keeping up your grades! If you have any specific questions about the process PM me! I applied to the first 4 HADES schools last year.

Hey, you go to DA? That's awesome man. Maybe I'd get accepted and be there... Just in case you've been wondering I go to Eaglebrook and it's 2 mins away from DA. lol enjoy DA

@Jungle, be a little careful. In your first 2 posts you've now identified yourself a little too clearly. Stick to more general information to retain some opacity. Your stats are strong--especially the performance arts piece along with the sports and academics. You're like High School Musical--in a good way. I expect you'll have good choices in March.
