I got my SSAT scores today....

Prep School Admissions
81

<p>My daughter is 9th grader applying for 10th grade at Andover. Her SSAT average is 2271 with a SSAT percentile of 96%. She has got into 99th percentile for verbal and quantitative but her reading is low hovering around 70th percentile. I am not sure what are her chances of getting in.</p>

<p>She has some extra curicular talent in music and has some gold cup awards and state level awards for music composition. Will this help her ?</p>

82

<p>Her SSAT is fine. More weight will be placed on her grades, recommendations, essays, and interview…in addition to strong EC’s.</p>

83

<p>I retook the ssat. I felt a bit concious with my old scores my new scores are:
Verbal:93%
Math:87%
Reading:95%
Total:94%</p>

<p>Now i feel more confident about getting in, I find out March 10. Thats only 6 more days.</p>
