Junior year is next to impossible to be admitted into. I’d say you should apply as a repeat sophomore. Your stats look great–a lot more impressive than mine, anyways–and if you write great essays and are comfortable in interviews, I’d say you’re in at almost all the schools you’re applying to. Make sure to contact coaches, if you’re an athlete. Good luck.
I know one person who was successfully able to transfer to Andover their junior year, but they had straight A’s in all their classes (which were all honor classes). Plus they were president of their sophomore year and homecoming queen freshman year (not that the second one probably helped). They were the president of four clubs and treasurer of a fifth one. They were in IB and had tons of volunteer hours. She worked two jobs and was on varsity volleyball and swim for both freshman and sophomore year. That wasn’t even all! Your resume is highly impressive, but I have to agree with dankfinesse that it’d be hard to get in. It also may be hard to get in by repeating sophomore year which would put you a year back.
I agree about repeating. You are on the younger side anyway. SwimKid will turn 16 his freshman year as a repeat 9.
