One thing that I do not understand. Suppose that OP is trying to decide between taking a post-graduate year of high school at a boarding school, versus going to university and living in a dorm at university with a bunch of university freshmen. How does the “boarding school experience” differ in this case? I might be missing something.

Agree…as I stated upthread, in the near future the OP can start thinking about college matches rather than continue to focus on a couple of hyper-competitive boarding high schools they have already been rejected from twice.
I would caution the OP to create a college application list that includes reach, match, and safety schools that appear affordable and that they would be excited to attend.

I would encourage the OP to look at LACs for college. Parts of this will be similar to the BS experience while it is also a college experience. This may make them feel less like they have missed out.
