Would Blair and Peddie accept someone with perfect GPA Good ECs and Awards, Good Teacher Recs, but with a 70% on the SSAT
I didnt get a 70% but im taking the SSAT in three weeks
I think I could hit int the eighties, but if I do get a 70% would these schools accept me?
Any advice for the SSAT or information for alumni or current students.
Also please if you can, check out my other threads and try to give an answer
Thank you very much
Anybody have any insight
Blair and Peddie accept plenty of kids with scores in the 60s and 70s. Blair’s average percentile is around 70 and Peddie’s is a few points higher, so obviously a huge portion of each school will be below those averages. Many will be well below. Anything in the 80s would be well above average at either school.
thank you @BlairParent
@BlairParent if you want to can you PM your childs SSAT score and the year they took it because from your username I can infer you have a child at Blair
How is one person’s SSAT going to tell you anything? As @BlairParent said
“Blair’s average percentile is around 70 and Peddie’s is a few points higher, so obviously a huge portion of each school will be below those averages.”
According to Boarding School Review the avg at Blair = 70%. That means a lot of kids scored below 70% and a bunch scored higher. A 70% SSAT score will not keep you out of Blair. Other factors- ability to full pay, GPA, interview, ECs will give you a much bigger chance of admission than a below 70% SSAT score would hurt you.
If you have any questions about peddie, ask me I was accepted last application cycle and would be happy to answer any questions!!
And don’t stress about your SSAT score, but I do think that anything above a 70%-tile would be good for Peddie
