Putting aside your chances, if your account name is your real name, we’d all encourage you to change that promptly to protect your privacy.

Just two weeks’ wait left - it’s understandable that nerves are high. Choate is very competitive - you have plenty to recommend you, but in the absence of test scores to establish academic capability, it may in part depend on what Choate thinks of your grades in the context of your current school. There is no varsity sport or varsity-equivalent musical instrument, so it will be your academic extracurriculars and character. Good luck on M10!

Lots of positives.

In the real world, fluency in all three of English, Spanish, and Portuguese is highly valued by many international firms.

I cannot predict whether or not you will be admitted, but I do think that your background indicates that you will be successful in life.

When an applicant applies test optional, teacher recs and grades become even more important.
