<p>I took the SSATs and received decent scores for Math and Verbal: Math: 97 percentile and Verbal 94 percentile. Overall, I received a 93 percentile.
However, my reading comprehension didn't fare well and I ended up with a 60 percentile.
I retook them and got a WORSE score in verbal and math (82 and 94) and increased my reading score to a 66 percentile. Overall score was a 86 percentile
However, I have received all As (so far), placed first in a Math competition my school held, received High Honors from Johns Hopkins for a high SAT score, play piano and flute (first flute and keyboardist for jazz band and rock band), was on my school travel team for soccer, was chosen to represent our school for 800 meter in track, participate in girl scouts (received Bronze award, working on silver), and volunteer at the library.
I'm applying for 9th grade to Andover, Exeter, Deerfield, Loomis Chaff, Choate, and schools within those tier.
And which score would be the "better score" to send?
Answers appreciated. :)</p>
<p>Is there a reason why sending both would not work for you? That is what I would consider, and many people do. Failing that, I would send the one with the highest overall score.</p>
<p>Send the first one. Your overall score puts at or above the avg. for all schools. It won’t determine whether you’re admitted or not (SSATs never guarantee admission by themselves), but it will keep you in the pool.</p>
<p>Those scores are great. I you might not be able to get into the cr</p>
<p>What schools would you say would accept these scores?</p>
<p>From my brother’s experience, he got the same scores as you and got into Milton, Andover and Exeter. I’m also applying to these schools, but my overall percentile is 90th. My brother goes to milton now.</p>
<p>Oh and I’m applying for financial aid
Will my scores and extracurriculars pull it off?</p>
<p>Your EC’s are solid, but not outstanding. My friend got into one of your schools with similar, maybe even worse stats, but she was full pay. Overall, you do have a decent chance.</p>
