<p>I would loved to be chanced. I go to a tough private school in Michigan. I have straight A's except for 1 A- in algebra 2 and 1 A+ in P.E. I scored a 2343 on the ssat. 800 math some high 700's on the other two. 99th percentile. I interviewed 40 minutes + at all schools except forexeter which was about 1 hour 10 minutes. My mom went to Andover.</p>

<p>E.C.

Do robotics every Saturday placed in many competitions
Won the school competition for the national geographic bee
Play tuba and guitar (a little didgeridoo)

<p>The bad parts- My essays we pretty good (I was a bit rushed) could have been better. I don't know which one is my favorite yet. And I am white male.</p>

<p>So chance me for Andover, Exeter, Groton, Choate, and St. Pauls</p>

<p>you look like a great candidate! but you know there are tons of people who qualify to go to these schools but they just dont have all the spots. Are you applying for FA?</p>

5

<p>No I am not applying</p>

6

<p>^ That’ll do more good than harm (the not applying for FA).</p>

7

<p>You seem like a perfect candidate. Then again I’m not an AO.
But your ECs and academics seem to be in good order, and if you think you did a solid job on your essays (because those are crucial in some schools), you’re set.</p>

<p>Thank You!!</p>

<p>Question. How do you score a 2343 on the SAT? College board felt nice/ compelled to give you 3/10 of a point?</p>

10

<p>800 math 99%
767 verbal 95%
776 reading 99%
Overall 99%</p>

11

<p>Are you sure that’s even possible? I’ve never heard of possibly getting anything that doesn’t end with a zero?</p>

12

<p>Really! Check these forums more often you will see a lot.</p>

<p>look here <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-chances/1277414-low-ssat-score-1935-will-hurt-my-chance.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/prep-school-chances/1277414-low-ssat-score-1935-will-hurt-my-chance.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Actually that’s the first time I’ve ever heard of such a score. I usually dwell in the SAT forums, since I’ll be taking the SAT again soon; I’ve never seen or heard of anyone with scores ending in anything else that is not zero.</p>

15

<p>When I took the SAT my score ended in 0</p>

16

<p>I would be VERY surprised if you get into none of these these schools. I would also be a bit surprised if you get into all of them. There is a certain amount of randomness in the admissions process. Also, some schools are hesitant about admitting students they think are unlikely to accept their offer.</p>

<p>In the case of Exeter, from what I’ve heard, they try to weight their admissions towards kids for whom an Exeter education might make a big difference in their life. If I were an AO looking at your application, I would see you as a candidate that will do well with or without an Exeter education.</p>

<p>…</p>

<p>You should be fine!</p>

<p>Oh and for everyone that’s confused: SSAT ≠ SAT</p>

<p>Just out of curiosity… did you get in?</p>

<p>Did you get in? everything looks perfect!</p>
