<p>Oh and do not send in a 23 ACT unless you took it a while back, while it can’t hurt you it just is not top enough…</p>

<p>Your violin makes up for your somewhat under par SSAT scores and grades (the margin between A and B+ is quite big fyi). However, violin is probably one of the most popularly played instruments among applicants.</p>

<p>All I can say is I’m glad we’re not applying to the same schools! If I were an adcom, I’d be interested in you.</p>

<p>In an uber competitive private school there is a difference between A and B+ etc. In an inflation bloated school it honestly does not matter, SSAT tells them what they need to know.</p>
