<p>Hello guys! I'm an 8th grader seeking admissions into Deerfield and Choate this year, and I am dying to know my chances for these two wonderful schools, if that's what will allow me to sleep at night. </p>

<p>So far, I've taken the SSAT and the ISEE, but I am not satisfied with my scores. I scored in the 78th percentile for the SSAT unfortunately, and 6,7,7,6 on the ISEE. ( I am very well aware of how bad my scores are. ) </p>

<p>My Report Card ( overall) for the 7th grade is as follows : </p>

<p>Science : 100
Math: 96
Religion: 100
Social Studies: 100
Spanish: 100
English: 98
Physical Education: 100
Computers: 100</p>

<p>Currently, for the 8th grade, my grades are as follows: </p>

<p>Thanks! </p>

<p>Your grades are really good but I highly suggest you raise your standardized test scores since they play a big part. I’d say you need at least to be in the 90 percentile for SSAT.</p>

<p>Thanks! I am going to retake the SSAT soon, wish me luck! :)</p>

<p>Me too! I did really bad last year as well. Good luck! @superwholockfan‌ I think the SSATs are important because it is a standardized test, it probably will be seen as a benchmark. The AO can’t really differentiate an A in my school from what an A is worth at your school. </p>

<p>Hey. Apart from the grades, a big part of your admission depends on showing a character the school needs. A friend of mine got to lawrenceville - which is pretty good - with a 75% SSAT and no sports. Get them to have a good impression of who you are, and it won’t be too hard</p>

<p>Okay, I’ll be sure to keep that in mind. :)</p>
