Chances for Sophomore Year @ Andover Bad?

<p>I am going to be a freshman in the fall and applying for Andover for sophomore year. I was wondering if applying as a freshman will lower my chances of getting in. Thanks!</p>

<p>Bummmmmmppppppppp</p>

<p>If you do the calculations, chances of admission as a freshman or sophomore are roughly the same.</p>

<p>How is that possible?</p>
