My chances of getting into Exeter or Andover?

Prep School Admissions
1

<p>I'm British student studying in a boarding school on the South coast of England, I'm 15 years old, currently in year 11 (10th grade) doing my GCSE's and I am applying to Phillips Exeter Academy and Phillips Andover Academy for 11th grade. I'm aiming for A*'s and A's in all of my GCSE's and have been predicted those grades.
The subjects I do at the moment are:
English Literature
English Language
Maths
Biology
Chemistry
Physics
Spanish
R.S
History
Art
I've also been taking piano lessons for 3 years and musical theatre lessons for a year and will be doing the abrsm grade 5 piano exam and lcm grade 3 musical theatre exam soon.</p>

<p>Extra Curricular:
Theatre (Was part of a musical theatre group for four years until it recently closed, performed in many musicals across England, appeared as an extra in a tv show and have received an award from them)
Singing
Languages (Learning spanish, german and russian)
Air Cadets (I did cadets for over a year but unfortunately had to quit due to becoming ill and then I could never rejoin when I started boarding)
Duke of Edinburgh - Silver Award (This is an award scheme in England that consists of doing volunteering, a skill, a sport and doing a weekend of hiking)
Art (as well as choosing this as a GCSE option I also do a lot of art work in my spare time)
Skiing (I am quite a competitive skier and have won a few awards)
dance (I used to take regular dance classes before I started boarding)
Tennis (I started less than 3 months ago so haven't really accomplished much :/)</p>

<p>I also missed over a year of school due to being ill putting me behind with my studies, I've managed to catch up now but do you think this will lessen my chances of being accepted? D:</p>

<p>I would appreciate honest answers :)
Thanks!! :)</p>

<p>You look like a good candidate, but what about standardized testing? Although not a defining factor, it can help people get to know you academically if we are not familiar with your school. For example, the public school in my area has an average of a 94 for their classes, whereas at my school, an 80 is more average. Your ECs look good, but if you quit dance, can you still put it down? i’m not sure, but you look pretty good.</p>

<p>I’ll eschew the usual lecture about the irrelevance of such statistics in actual chances and say instead that your query belongs on the “Chances” forum.</p>

<p>I haven’t been able to do the required tests yet, I’ve contacted the school but I’m still waiting for a reply. I’m not too sure where they do them in England. :/</p>

<p>This belongs on the “chances” subforum.</p>
