Boarding School Help?

Hello, I’m currently in 7th Grade and am looking to go to a boarding school for high school. I took the SSATs at middle level this year and received a 91st Percentile, 78 in Math and 96 in Reading. I have made distinguished honor roll for my past years and I do a few extracurriculars (mainly odyssey of the mind, marching band and junior academy of science) . I swim year-round for a competitive team though my times aren’t anywhere near top of state. I’ve also played french horn 4 years and percussion for 2. I’m looking a schools like Lawrenceville, Hill, Mercersburg or Blair. What would my chances be?

P.S. I will be needing Financial Aid

I’m pretty sure that no one here can tell you if you can get into these schools for sure, but there’s plenty of advice from former applicants to go around! In the Chances forum, there’s a thread about giving back to future applicants, by @PhotographerMom I would definitely say that looking over what people that have gone through the whole process would recommend doing will give you a great place to start in your application journey! Good luck!
