<p>I know that many schools accept the SSAT application in lieu of their own application, but what do schools think of the SSAT app. vs. their own? If they prefer their own, does that impact your chances, just based on the application you chose?
Thanks!</p>
<p>I would think that schools prefer using their standard application. Some schools only use a common app (eg. gateway) however it would be best if you used the school’s personal app if one is given. Shows you have a higher desire to get in.</p>
