Hello…we are looking at boarding/prep schools as a 10th grader next fall. My son is currently in 9th grade. He has already taken the PSAT. We had been planning to have him apply for 11th grade (2017-18) - in that case he would just need next Fall’s PSAT.
However, he may apply late for this coming fall (2016-17), but has not taken SSAT. Would the schools take the PSAT in lieu of SSAT for an incoming 10th grader? His score was very good (92nd percentile as measured against nationwide 10th/11th graders as they don’t callibrate percentiles for 9th).
Also, he is a competitive swimmer. What is the process there? Do we write to the coach (and if so, should he or I write the email?).
We have good reason for applying late, but would need merit aid.
Thanks!
