<p>Scores are just part of the admission process. Your EC, recommendations, interview, and essay all together are important. If you’re applying for 9th grade, math is a little behind. Normally, students in GT class are taking Geometry at 8th grade. BTW, you look a great chance if other records are well matched. Good Luck!</p>

<p>your grades and scores are perfection. now, what ecs are you involved in? how was your interview? just based off of your grades, i would say you have a very high chance at all of these schools. Good luck!</p>

<p>The only reason I can imagine you getting rejected from Mercersburg is if you listed “killing puppies” as an extracurricular. Their average SSAT score is much less than a 95%, so you would stand out as an applicant. As for the other schools, we have no idea about your chances for several reasons.

  1. We don’t know your extracurriculars. These things are very important when admission decisions are made.
  2. These schools get plenty of qualified applicants. It is almost impossible to be over qualified. At Mercersburg, you are over qualified so you are probably going to get in.
  3. We are random people on the internet. How do we know if the admission officers at Deerfield will like you? We know that you’re in the ball park with your grades, but we honestly have no idea if you’re going to get in or not.</p>
