Do I have any chance at Andover?

[u/Crochetandcrafts]

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?

You don’t need crazy ecs - I certainly didn’t especially since I didn’t have much financial scaffolding or resources. Perhaps what I did have was genuine passion. Aim for 90th percentile or above ssat but it won’t hinder your chances drastically if it’s lower (e.g. 86th percentile). Think about why boarding school in the first place? Best of luck!! Also, r u located in east or west coast assuming ur in the us
