<p>I would say you are a lock. Assuming the interview goes well.</p>
<p>Are you taking the SSAT’s again?</p>
<p>Because even if Deerfield’s median is 85, they are probably looking for people higher than that. But otherwise, your EC’s seem great.</p>
<p>
There are no locks. I say this from experience. DS was also an expat applicant w considerably higher SSAT, GPA & EC’s, and still he was not admitted to every school to which he applied.</p>
<p>The 87% was my SSAT score from last December, I’ve been prepping for them like crazy and hope to definitely boost my score.</p>
