Chances at Loomis Chaffee, Choate, Hotchkiss?(Updated)

Prep School Admissions Prep School Chances
1

I am a 9th grade student applying to repeat 9th grade but I skipped 8th grade. I moved over the summer from FL to OR and in Fl I went to the top private prep school which was extremely rigorous(my school is very well known with the New England prep schools because of its positive reputation). Now I am going to a public high school after moving here and skipping 8th grade. I am currently taking a mix of 9th and 10th grade classes and have 1 B and the rest A’s. In 6th grade I had straight A’s and In 7th I had a mix of A’s and B’s :(.
Besides that, am strongly involved in broadcasting in particular, filming about issues in society. In the spring of 2017 I won an extremely prestigious international film competition and will be interning over the summer at an international news station. In addition to this, I am extremely interested in immunotherapy research in cancer and am writing a book on my friend who struggles in cancer. Also I volunteer at an orphanage in Europe and have a very close relationship with the children there.
Clubs: Model UN
Sports: Equestrian, and swimming. In swimming I am an average swimmer(comparing myself to the schools swim teams and will be on the varsity team).
SSAT: I haven’t taken the test yet, but I should have between a 80-88 percentile.
Interview and tour: I fit very well into the 3 schools I am applying too and at my interviews at Choate and Hotchkiss, my interviewers said they are very impressed with me and I am exactly the kind of applicant they are looking for. I have a Skype interview with Loomis in 3 weeks.
My application essays are very strong and I am Caucasian and will need little to no financial aid.

My recommendations from teachers will be fabulous and several of the teachers who asked if they could write a recommendation for me are very well known in their fields and are highly respected professors by the teaching community.

Given this information what do you think are my chances of acceptance for these schools?
Thank you!

@Seabiscuit12345 I’m a LC grad and while I don’t know much about about their courses these days, I can tell you that you will remain in contact (friends) with your classmates throughout your life. I graduated over 35 years ago and we are still like a family via social media and our reunions. I was a day student and the boarders and day students all hung out together. Amazing campus and teachers that I’ll never forget! Good luck to you on your interviews. Go Pelicans!

P.S. I also had friends who went to Choate and Hotchkiss. They enjoyed their time too.

The only school you list that has equestrian is Loomis. And it is a good program. If you are serious about continuing your riding, focus on that and reach out to the coach.

Sounds good to me! Can you say what school in FL? (PM if you want). I think your chances are very good due to the interest/passion for filmmaking, living in an uncommon state, rigor of prior school, and FP.

Seabiscuit: Are you a boy or a girl? There are several all girls schools with fantastic equestrian programs

I am a girl.

If riding is important to you, it may be worth considering girls’ schools like Ethel Walker, Foxcroft, Madeira, Chatham Hall, and Grier.
