I’m applying for 10th grade at Andover and Exeter

I’m Indian, I was born here in the US and have lived here all my life.
I need financial aid.

School: Top 5% of schools in US (Newsweek)
Grades/School: 3 AP Classes (Calculus, Physics, Human Geography), 2 PreAP/Honors Classes (Spanish, English), and PE. I have a 4.0 currently.
Ive been in ‘advanced’ classes since I was 8
Recommendations:Probably 9.5/10 average, if you were to rate them, I haven’t seen the letters, but I can make an assumption from my relationship with my teachers.My Calculus teacher loves me, and my HUGS/English teacher likes me too.

Interview: Good, probably an 8 or 9 out of 10?

Extracurriculars:
Key Club/Community Service, 1 year experience, 1~2 hrs a week
Math Club/Mu Alpha Theta, 5 years experience, 24 AMC 8 (last year), 107 AMC 10, Team made it to Mathcounts state
Knowledge Bowl, 2 years, 2~4 hours a week (depends on whether we have meets or not), JV team 1, Varsity team 1
Tae-Kwon-Do: 6~7 years experience, 1~3 hrs a week, Black Belt 1st Degree
Art: 5~6 years experience, 1~2 hours a week, Advanced Student
Swimming: ~2 years experience, ~1 hour a week, Level 6 (Highest Level)

Haven’t taken SSAT’s yet, looking at December/January, from my practice test averages I get 790-780 Verbal, 770-760 Reading and 800 Math

I also live in a geographically underrepresented area

My #1 school would be Andover, 2 would be Exeter

Also, are there anything I can do now (I know its late) to boost my chances of getting in?
