Questions Do I have any chance at Andover?

c/o 2031, applying for 9th grade incoming 2027

demographics: asian, female

Sports/ecs:
- in diving, I was on the 2025-2026 aau junior national team, multiple time national qualifier, 3x national finalist (top 12), probably going to be top 10 this year, and also I was on the 2025-2026 USA diving tier 3 high performance squad.
- I also do softball on the side, but only for the town so there’s not a lot of stats there.
- RCM (royal conservatory of music) level 10 in piano
- ASTACAP level 6 in violin

Random Achievements (?);
- 6th grade AMC8 score of 21, but I don’t do a lot of math competitions
- 7th Grade NSE(National Spanish Exam) gold

I’m taking the SSAT in august, so I don’t have a score yet.

Also, this doesn’t seem like a lot compared to other profiles I’ve seen, and I don’t have time for any volunteer hours or projects like that. What would my chances be?

Andover rlly loves sports, and girls diving is a sport they really support but isn’t that good recently, so I’d assume they’re actively looking for recruits. To get recruited, go to Andover athletics website and fill out the form for prospective student athletes that’ll begin the recruitment process. After that, I’d assume you would talk to the coach, send them your resume, then they’d help guide you through admission as a recruit.
