I agree that Exeter, Choate, and Blair would be very high reaches for you. Your EC’s are pretty “standard” for lack of a better term although that Board of Ed thing sounds interesting.
I know a little about Northwood and it’s an extremely winter-sports focused school. I know they have a pretty good robotics program but still if you don’t play a winter sport it may not be the best “fit”. Just something to consider and I’m sure you can still have a great experience nonetheless if accepted.
I would suggest that if you really want to go to BS you tack on a couple of lessser known but still amazing schools. As an FA kid you need to really have something compelling in your application. That isn’t good or even great grades because even for a school like Northwood I suspect that is a prerequisite for admission. Maybe that compelling bit in your application is a combination of varied EC’s or amazing essays. But looking at your resume I don’t see that “compelling” component. I can’t speak for your interviews or essays and they could very well be amazing but FA is a big obstacle that neccesitates a really special kind of kid.
Just my honest opinion and I wish you the best of luck!
