NYC Independent Day School Chances

Prep School Admissions Prep School Chances
1

I am a New York City student who is applying to various independent day schools in the city, like Brearley, Nightingale-Bamford, Spence, Dalton, etc. I just wanted to know what are my chances of getting into these schools with my SSAT Upper Level test score of 2232. I know that there are various other factors that count when admitting a person, however, I just wanted to know some of my chances with the SSAT score. (I am also applying for financial aid.)

Verbal – 89%
Math – 99%
Reading Comprehension – 76%
Total percentile – 95% (2232)

Thank you.

These are very good scores, so they won’t hold you back. Good luck!

I go to an independent day school in nyc similar to the all girls schools you’re applying to and I think that at most of the schools you are applying to you will need something unique you will bring to the school if you are applying for FA, because the day schools have relatively few spots.

I got into Spence, Nightingale, Brearley, and Berkeley Carroll. I am choosing between Spence and Nightingale (not saying that the other two is not good). Which ones do you prefer?

Brearley is the best hands down.

Thank you for your suggestion. However, I have chosen Spence to be the place where I would like to spend the next four years of my educational life at :slight_smile:
