As a potential day student transfer as a junior I am most worried about my scores and grades. How are they looking for these schools?
gpa: 3.7
SSAT: over all 2,013 47%ile
PSAT: 950 54%ile (for LA)
Will schools notice my 713 reading score and over look my ok math score? or do they like balance?
Hi! I can really relate to you because my SSAT score is really low compared to the averages of the schools I’m applying to… The SSAT seems a bit low for Pingree and Governors, but if you have something outstanding about you (extracurricular, essay, etc.), they may overlook that. Anecdotes shouldn’t be used, but a girl from my school last year got into Governors with a 40 percentile but she helped change my schools dress code for girls and attended a summer program there. I’m pretty sure her interview allowed the admissions officers to overlook the score as she was extremely passionate about the school. For Lawrence Academy, you’re only a few points below the average! I would say it’s a hit (I do hear it’s a very sporty school, so you have a good chance of being admitted if you excel in a sport). As for ‘balance’, it really depends on the school.
