You are a real go-getter! And I am sure you will be successful in life. You are also a strong boarding school candidate. There is one factor that throws a bit more uncertainty into an already uncertain process. That is your high financial need.

I agree that on academics, from my quick look, Baylor is more of a safety. But they do not meet full need :-(. You may have other info that makes you confident of 100% need met. But without any special circumstances there’s a decent chance they may be unaffordable.

As to the others, a school that rejects 80% of its applicants is no one’s safety or target. Especially since the school is need aware with it’s admissions decisions.

If you were my child, I would see if there’s time to apply to a few more schools where you are wildly overqualified, and especially consider single sex schools.

People are cautioning you because we want you to get accepted to an affordable school, and right now there’s the chance that you may not. No matter what, good luck!
