The interview went great and they really liked me, they were really interested to hear about my disability and how I am from Alaska.
I love this school and I really want to get in! Could somebody tell me my chances?

Edit: I forgot to say I was also in yearbook club, MathCounts, and volunteered for my teachers. Also, I know I don’t have many sports, but I am disabled so it’s hard for me but I think i make up for it in other places?

You sound like a nice candidate! Make sure to write strong essays and do some research on the school + the prep school admissions process.

Keep in mind that it’s impossible to accurately chance here. No one can give you an accurate percentage.

Are you applying to any other schools? It does help that you are from an unrepresented state.
