What are my chances?

Honestly everyone, and no offense, but I see no use in creating a chance thread. First, admission is not all about stats; admission officers consider each application holistically. Of course you can say that your essays and recs were good, but how good were they exactly? Second, people who “chance” are mostly boarding school applicants themselves, they don’t know what goes on behind-the-scenes. One thing I notice is that answers to chance threads are usually very generic, e.g “You definitely stand a good chance” or “I’d say you have decent stats” etc. Third, different schools look for different kinds of students, that’s why many people get accepted to a top school but get rejected to a less prestigious one. What do you think? “What are my chances?”
