Chance me for Phillips Andover, Exeter, Choate, etc

Hey y’all
Student looking for a match in elite high school boarding.
I have slightly up to average grades, though I did have about 5 Bs and one C in 6th grade. (do high schools look at 6th grade grades?)

No financial aid. I’m an international student in Asia. 97 percentile in the SSAT.

I am in the Middle School Orchestra, and I’m a pretty serious cellist. I’ve been playing cello for about 8 years now, and I began competition at age 7. I competed internationally a few times, like Popper’s competition in Hungary (3d place), Salzburg and London Grand Prizes (First place and exceptional award) , and the Hong Kong competition. (I took 2d place for overall prize). But for the rest, I have competition prizes and concerts for within my country. I was also invited to play at Royal Albert Hall when I was 12. I recorded a few pieces throughout years for online competitions and for increasing general repertoire.

I also play tennis, but I’m not really serious about it, I played at my middle school team (not varsity or anything), and I sometimes play with my friends.

I’ve gone to summer camp at Choate and some other summer camps . Will that help or harm for other schools?

I have a passion for birds, I’m in the online bird community, like Ebird or Merlin Bird ID, and I also took a few courses at the Cornell lab of ornithology. I want to become an ornithologist in the future.

How much would you say my chances are?
