<p>8th grade female applying from NYC</p>
<p>98.5 GPA
Gymnastics and varsity softball prospect (starting pitcher)
Particularly strong interviews with excellent feedback to my parents
SSAT 91% math, 86% Reading, 50% verbal, 81% overall
Strong essays and recommendations</p>
<p>Obviously interested to hear what impact the low verbal might have.</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>What schools are you looking at? The 50 verbal/81 overall might be okay for some schools, but probably not for schools such as E and A. </p>
<p>I wish you the best of luck. :)</p>
<p>@mathman1201 the schools are in the title. </p>
<p>oh whoops thanks for pointing that out @mrnephew</p>
<p>The SSAT score might be a little low for those schools. Keep in mind that the schools that you are looking at have an average SSAT score in the 90s. Try looking at “hidden gem” schools that have a slightly lower SSAT average score!
Good luck!</p>
