<p>SSAT scores are pretty good especially reading comp.
Sports are amazing(!) and should be your hook. Talk alot about them in interviews and essays.
I think your main problem will be your grades. Maybe you should explain them in interviews and tell them how you’re improving your grades. That is the only thing you have to worry about because it will hurt your chances very much.</p>

<p>ok what schools do you think I have a good chance with</p>

5

<p>Exeter: no
Deerfield: yes
Lawrenceville: yes
Hotchkiss: maybe
Taft: maybe
St George’s: yes</p>

<p>Do not take my opinion to seriously because just like you I am just another student applying. I may be or may not be correct with these.</p>

<p>Also, can you please chance me?
Its called - chance me for Exeter, Andover, St. Paul’s, and Peddie.</p>

<p>Exeter: No, but maybe…
Deerfield: You are in the ballpark
Lawrenceville: couldn’t tell you, I don’t know anything about this school
Hotchkiss: Yes
Taft: maybe
St. Georges: yes/maybe</p>

10

<p>Exeter: No
Deerfield: maybe
Lawrenceville: i think they would like you
Hotchkiss: probably
Taft: probably
St. Georges: idk this school</p>

<p>@lax305,
Can you retake the SSAT? Your scores a little bit uneven. If you can’t, don’t worry too much about it.</p>

12

<p>99 in reading? thats awesome!
the other scores are a bit low but i really wouldn’t say that it will bring you down much, considering your overall score is above average. math might hurt you a bit for exeter, but again i wouldn’t say that it will hurt you.
you have great sports which i know will help you for deerfield (especially lax!), however your grades are a bit below average. i wouldn’t worry too much though. what is your first choice ? good luck!</p>

<p>Sorry but you’re definitely out for Exeter and most likely out for Deerfield. Lawrenceville seems like a relatively okay chance though.
I’m totes jell of your reading score. My SSAT total score was pretty similar to yours but I got 98%…how does that work?</p>

14

<p>Your Tennis and your SSAT score are really goods, but…</p>

<p>Your grades are going to be the one thing that might hold you out of Exeter or Deerfield. That being said, if you are actually being recruited solely for Tennis, then you should get in everywhere.</p>

<p>In the worst case scenario that you’re not being recruited, then I would say the following…</p>

<p>Exeter: no
Deerfield: no
Lawrenceville: yes
Hotchkiss: maybe
Taft: yes
St George’s: yes</p>

<p>To be honest, I don’t think you have a chance for any of them unless it’s for tennis. Your courses aren’t AP’s and your taking Geometry as a ninth grader, and you still aren’t doing well. Your SSAT scores are pretty good, but not great. </p>

<p>I say:
Exeter: no
Deerfield: no
Lawrenceville: maybe
Hotchkiss: no
Taft: no
St George’s: maybe</p>
