I think your stats are great! Unfortunately the schools you have chosen have very low acceptance rates and if you would really like to go to boarding school I would suggest you cast the net a little bit wider.

Applying for partial or full financial aid may also lower your chances so I really hope you think about applying to some toher schools as well.

Wishing you every success
