What are my chances of getting into andover, deerfield, choate, and lawrenceville?

Welcome :slight_smile: You have a potentially fun adventure in front of you and you sound like a really nice person.

You should know that chance me threads pretty much always go the same way: the experienced, informed parents will chime in and say, more or less: “You’re great. Now
broaden your list and apply to more schools, including some that are less selective but are still otherwise great fits for you, and great schools themselves.”

Why?

Every year on March 10 there are a lot of kids who are left with no BS options because they focused solely on the most selective schools. 80-90% of applicants to the schools you list do not get in. And guess what? A lot of the 80-90% who don’t get in also have super high SSATs, A+ GPAs, stellar ECs and recommendations, etc.

Beyond the resume, schools are looking for fit and how you’ll contribute to their specific community. That’s what you should search for and prepare to demonstrate in interviews and essays. The good news is that there’s definitely a school (or several) out there for you.

More specifically to you, I’d say that your chances for any given school are:
Last year’s acceptance rate…

  • a very small upward adjustment for your accomplishments in table tennis or a less small upward adjustment if they have a competitive table tennis program
  • a very small upward adjustment for swimming, or less small if your times indicate you can make varsity your freshman year
  • a very small upward adjustment if you are FP which I think is what you’re saying
  • a very small upward adjustment if you are an URM, or, - a downward adjustment if you are an ORM
  • a small downward adjustment bc you’re applying from a place from which many kids apply

TL;DR you’re great but apply to more schools including some that are less selective so that you’ll have options come M10.

Good luck!
