What are my chances to get into a top high school like Exeter

hi,

im only an applicant so i cant properly chance you, but you might have gotten something wrong.

interviews are important, yes, but ssat scores? not as much. (they’re still kinda important tho, if you really want to show your academics)
essays are the most important, and recommendation letters next. you could have a terrible ssat score and flunked your interview, but if you have amazing essays and golden recommendations you still have a decent shot.

and by your stats, you seem like a great applicant! i wouldnt worry about studying for the ssat YET, since no one knows if schools like exeter will still go test-optional. i would highly suggest taking some writing classes and learning how to make writing (especially essay writing) interesting for other people to read. something i shouldve done but never got the chance to.

also from my knowledge, amc results help, but there are tons of applicant who have those. applying for schools like exeter are showing them that you are unique, and that basically just means showing them you have something others dont have.

(sorry if this is poorly written im so tired lol)
