<p>If you take honors/AP at Blair, I think you will find the academic challenge you seek, as well as a close community. Blair has a range of academic aptitudes, with a range of classes. Did you visit? I think they offer you what you seek, but they do not have a girls ice hockey team. Perhaps that is not very important to you because I think some of your other schools do not have one either. You can ask the crew coach to create a winter workout program for you so you are prepared for the season. You sound like a strong candidate, but I cannot assess your chances. Blair is the only school I know well, so I cannot comment on the others. Feel free to ask me questions about Blair here or by private message.</p>
<p>You might ask your secondary school advisor is s/he thinks St. Andrews School in DE would be a good fit for you. Based on your list, I’m guessing that you are close to VA. Your secondary school advisor should also be able to comment on fit and strengths/weaknesses of the schools on your list.</p>
