Hi! I’m an eight grade student in Oregon applying to boarding school next year. Madeira is my dream school, but I’m also planning on applying to Phillips Andover and Exeter. What are my chances for getting into these schools?

Grades: All A’s throughout middle school. I’m a grade ahead in math. Took online French as an extra elective bc it wasn’t offered at my middle school.

Extracurriculars : Dance, ski racing, Girl Scouts, Flute, saxophone.

Academic awards: NJHS member, no other academic awards are offered in my community.

Leadership: Girl Scouts, WEB Leader (The equivalent of student council at my school), multiple volunteer groups. I organized a shoe drive two years in a row for children in poverty.

Tests: I’m registered to take the SSAT but haven’t taken it yet. I typically test pretty well, and I have tutor for the test.

Demographic: White, two heterosexual parents, upper-middle class.

Can you give me an idea of my chance of getting into these schools?

Thanks!
