<p>What are the minimum percentiles needed to get taken seriously in admission? </p>

2

<p><80 if not Asian <85 if Asian. </p>

3

<p>There is no minimum, but the higher you get the better.</p>

4

<p>This is SSAT, but you get the idea. <a href=“http://www.andover.edu/Admission/Pages/FrequentlyAskedQuestions.aspx”>http://www.andover.edu/Admission/Pages/FrequentlyAskedQuestions.aspx&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Why not use the school’s average SSAT percentile as a proxy? </p>

6

<p>Im not sure but do you think an average of 70 percentile GPA 3.7 is good for an asian to be considered properly because my essays and EC’s are quite good </p>

7

<p>70th percentile is well below the avg test scores at Choate & Andover.
<a href=“Boarding Schools with the Highest Average SSAT Score (2023)”>Boarding Schools with the Highest Average SSAT Score (2023);

<p>The kids who get in w below avg test scores often have some compelling “hook”, e.g., URM, recruited athlete, development case </p>

8

<p>At Choate, 65-75%+ if you are full pay or an outstanding athlete/special talent, 85%+ if you require financial aid. Andover would be around 94%+ regardless. obviously, these are rough numbers and are not scientific. each case is different. </p>

9

<p>First of all, Andover’s average is like 92nd percentile, so they don’t accept only 99 percentile people. As I have said before there is no minimum because it really depends on the person.</p>
