Prep School Admissions

<p>Hey guys, I was wondering how good my chances are for getting into andover. I am currently a straight A student taking all double accelerated classes and one triple accelerated course. I am a nationally ranked swimmer. My ssat score was a bit low though:</p>

<p>Verbal Score 680
(Personal Score Range: 659 - 701, SSAT Percentile 62%)</p>

<p>Math Score 755
(Personal Score Range: 734 - 776, SSAT Percentile 83%)</p>

<p>Reading Score 722
(Personal Score Range: 701 - 743, SSAT Percentile 92%)</p>

<p>Total Score 2157
(Personal Score Range: NA, SSAT Percentile 82%)</p>

<p>Do I still have a good chance for andover??</p>

<p>We don’t chance. While your credits are good, what Andover is looking for may not be what you have.</p>

<p>^I think what he’s saying is that, grades are not enough, Andover has a really big emphasis on being nice, and character. No matter how smart you are or stellar your’s stats are, if you’re not nice, you don’t get in. They determine this from interview, recommendation and such.</p>
