Help me with boarding schools!

Well, here's my story. I currently attend Townsend Harris, which is a NYC public school in Flushing... it's really good and stuff but like... they have really limited course offerings and such, so i looked towards boarding schools.

i am going to be a sophomore this year, and this is my third time applying for my dream high schools... sorta pathetic, but u know, i want to pursue this dream... well, im applying for philips academy (www.andover.edu) philips exeter (www.exeter.edu)... the only reason im applying for two is because i want to get in these two - i dont care about the others.

my parents are totally against the idea, but me being who i am, i still will apply no matter what.

help me... it's like applying for college - do u have any idea how i should present myself so the admissions ppl will say - "we want this kid at our school?"

btw, last year, i had a 92/100 GPA and a 98% SSAT... and they still rejected me, which means the rejections must come from the EC side...

thanks

whats 92/100 gpa? and 98% ssat?
