hi! i’m a current student at choate so i know a little bit about boarding schools. your list looks great right now. the acceptance rates of the schools you’re looking at range quite a bit. i honestly believe it’s what you’re interested in getting out of your high school experience and what your own stats are but if you don’t plan on removing any of the first eight, i think taft and milton are great options too. if you want to know a little more about choate as well, i’d love to give u some info
