SSAT isn’t the only thing. Your other stats seem to overrule that. You look like a strong candidate,

Thanks! @2schoolsonly‌

I did get in touch with the soccer and basketball coach at the Andover open house, and also filled out the athlete form.
I also got to talk with the coaches one on one at my interview/tour, and they seemed to love me!

Your grades look good, and if you really hit it off with your interviewer, it’s a boost to your application. How are your essays?
