    You applied to all those schools?
    I'm sure you will get into at least one, but why would a smart kid be thinking any of us could possibly have a definitive answer based on grades and 'good' interviews? Come on.

    All great schools - which one is your first choice? Among members of my family we have graduates from Choate, Hotchkiss, St. Paul's, Exeter, and Lawrenceville, so I applaud you for your desire to go the prep school route. With 94 on the SSATs you should do fine, especially if your extra-curricular activities help you stand out. Good luck to you.

    Choate is a great school. But I got to say - by cutting out both Hotchkiss and PEA you have chopped out two out of the three top schools on your list, In my opinion (I would included SPS in the top 3 as well). It's a shame to make that decision based on the admissions app. So what is it about Choate that you absolutely love?
