Hi I’m an 8th grader from Georgia . I go to a charter school. I have straight A’s. I still have to take the ssat and the interview. I don’t do any extracurriculars but i do film youtube videos. What are my chances? (I know most kids who apply have a broad list of thing but i just want to know my chances)
If boarding school is important to you I very strongly suggest you apply to a broader list of schools that are not so hard to get into. Even if you are a strong applicant your chances are about 15% - not good. Apply to some schools with higher admission rates.
Unless you can articulate why you want to go to these schools, and show how you would be a good fit in there, I would put your chances at “low”.
So, why do you want to go to BS? What do you expect/hope to get out of the BS experience?
If your only EC is filming youtube videos, then at least expand on the nature of this activity. Like, are you interested in digital arts, or do you just make random videos? Do you want to do more with your videos, or are you just making them because you’re bored?
If you have no athletic ability, and no interest in participating in sports, you better cast a wider net. A much wider net.
