<p>This trimester I have
Social Studies: A
English: A+
Science: A+
Latin (worst subject): B+
Math Honors: A- (2nd in class)
87 on the SSAT
99 in Reading
95 Math
84 Verbal
Taking it Again</p>
<p>Do you have any EC’s?</p>
<p>If that’s all you have to say then you have no shot.</p>
<p>Thats a pretty bad Verbal Score…
and a B+ is not good on your application</p>
<p>What is it that makes you special? What will you bring to one of those campuses?</p>
<p>I think the point the others are trying to get to is that at all of the schools you listed, your grades/scores will not distinguish you, as solid as you are academically.
Your grades are fine. And your scores at this point will “put you in the mix”</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
<p>I agree with the other posters, good ssat scores alone won’t get you in. Last year I score 97% overall on the ssat, and even with EC’s (ice hockey, basketball, lacrosse, numerous honors bands, service clubs, etc.) I got rejected from Andover. I did get in to Groton though.</p>
<p>@kikithefish,
Your SSAT score is fine. Schools care more about reading and math than they do about the verbal section. And an 84% isn’t bad.</p>
