I’m applying to boarding schools like Lawrenceville, Hotchkiss, Taft, Exeter, The Hill, and St.Paul. I just wanted to see how good my chances are for these schools. (In 8th grade and applying to 9th) (Pakistani American living in America and will need partial financial aid) Also I am bilingual as I speak English and Urdu
Grades:
All A’s during entirety of middle school and am taking high school course for math

Extra Curriculars:
NJHS Member
Debate captain (Made it to finals every year)
Volunteer at retirement center
Coding(Made chess AI and some other games)
Chess club
Chosen for Theme Week Committee
jiu jitsu (planning on pursuing wrestling)
Tutor

Hobbies:
Writing
Coding (as mentioned before)
Reading
Basketball (broke my leg so couldn’t play for team anymore)
Music (Played the drums and did percussion for 4 years)

Essays: I have pretty strong essays because I’ve always like writing and I’ve had good stories to write about for struggles I’ve went through

Interviews: I’ve had good interviews with mostly every school with some lasting an hour apart from st.Paul’s because I wasn’t able to connect with interviewee

SSAT: I did pretty bad on my first attempt getting a 77th percentile but it was just a practice and I’m going to retake it next month as I’ve been studying a lot more this time as well.

Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated
