Can I get into a good school with a LOW SSAT score?

<p>I did from SPS. The only school that I didn't follow through with the app. process.</p>

<p>I wonder if they do that as some sort of incentive? Especially to kids who haven't sent in the AIF (Applicant Information Form; name, address, ethnicity etc.) and are only interviewing.</p>

<p>ohhh. ok.
like my interviewer was talking about stuff that we talked about in our interviewer..and good luck with rest of my year at my current school.
it was the only school i received something personal like that from.</p>

<p>At Hotchkiss they ask for the money prior to the interview. Obviously it encourages students to complete the application process.</p>

<p>I can understand why you didn't follow through with the SPS app. That app was very very long. It had tons of essays and crap!</p>

<p>It WAS so long! But if I loved the school, I think I would done it.</p>

<p>I won't list my reasons, but I realllllllly didn't like my interviewer, and it felt reallllly elitist.</p>

<p>P.S. That's really bad and weird about Hotchkiss. How much do you have to pay?</p>

<p>Yes, I was accepted to Exeter, but I am actually at a different prep school now. And about the card thing....
remember, if you get accepted to a school but decide not to go, a very nice thing to do is to do is to send the person who interviewed you at that school a card thanking them, etc. Really, I think it is very polite and will keep good "relations." :)</p>

<p>Yeah, it's certainly good manners.</p>

<p>Where did you end up attending, scigirl?</p>

<p>oh where do you go now?</p>

<p>At H you need to pay 50 bucks to get an interview.</p>

<p>I didn't love my interviewer either...</p>

<p>Ohh adn it says that my PM box is 100% full. It won't let me PM anyone!!! How do I get rid of this?</p>

<p>THE BIG GREEN! :) (aka Deerfield)</p>

<p>Ohh! Haha, cool! What made you decide Big Green over Big Red?</p>

<p>That's like... totally uncool about Hotchkiss! I'm really surprised they'd do that.</p>

<p>You have to delete your messages. Check the boxes beside the message title, and then scroll down to the drop-down menu and select ''delete''.</p>

<p>oh that's awesome.</p>

<p>i loved my interviewer at Exeter..it made me really want to go there.</p>

<p>I looooved my Hotchkiss interviewer! She was so easy to chat with and she made me feel so comfortable. Part of the reason I love Hotchkiss! It was probably my favorite interview...it was so engaging for me. She was the kind of person I would want as a dorm advisor.</p>

<p>I disliked my interviewer at Exeter, so...unenthusiastic.</p>

<p>Groton=2nd favorite interview...was with the dean of admissions. I was engaged, but he didn't feel like the kind of person that I would be able to talk to about anything.</p>

<p>My favorite interviewer was at Groton. I got a decent feeling walking the campus, but I loved my interviewer!</p>

<p>Yes--I must say, Exeter's interview was amazing. The atmosphere was incredible, and everyone was welcoming and warm. I had many reasons for choosing DA...complicated....some of it had to do with my sport/EC's.</p>

<p>How do you like deerfield?</p>

<p>interviewers really vary.
some are really harsh.
and others..idk
my interviewer at TGA kept using acronyms..it was quite entertaining. haha</p>

<p>TGA? 10 char</p>
