SSAT Chances

<p>What do you think are my chances of getting accepted into Choate, Andover etc. and some less competitive schools such as Hopkins?</p>

<p>Here are my grades:</p>

<p>Course Name M1

GEOMETRY HONORS A+ 100 :D<br>

<p>Here are my SSAT scores from an August Flex Test ( I also just took one in December three days ago on 12/13/14. I am waiting for my results):</p>

<p>Math: 92%
Reading: 70%
Verbal: 60%
Overall: 78% ( Yeah I know: I have low scores :-q )</p>

<p>What do you think my chances are?
All help is appreciated :D </p>

<p>This belongs in the chances forum. @skieurope‌ ? :)</p>

<p>It sure does. So moved.</p>

<p>Competitive schools such as Andover have average SSAT scores in the mid 90s. (aka high). Unless you have stellar extracurriclars, which you did not list, it will be hard to get in. If I were you, I would look at some less selective schools that have an average SSAT score around the 70-80s.
Decisions are also not only with the SSAT. Your grades (which look good), your recommedations, your extracurriculars, your achievements, and interview are all part of the process. You didn’t mention any of your ECs. Do you do anything outside of school?</p>

<p>When you say Hopkins do you mean the Day school in New Haven, CT?</p>

<p>@bschoolsearcher Yes, I mean the Hopkins as the day school in New Haven. Also, my extracurricular activities are Running, Chess, Soccer, and Mathcounts. In running I have won a 5k competition in my category (0-12), In chess I have made the top 100 players Nationwide ( ranked 74th place currently) and in Mathcounts, I have won 4th place. I also have other minor extra curricular activities. </p>

<p>Hopkins isn’t often discussed on this forum however I would say you have good chances for there, I know people with worse stats who got in. I think you have an OK chance for the other schools, however it would be alot better if you could raise your SSAT scores. I am applying as well and am not super qualified to tell you these things but I have read alot of this forum an you look like a good candidate. </p>

Update: SSAT scores are now 90 % overall.
How much does this change my chances?

That’s a great score! Congrats.

Do you do anything else other than school?
