SSAT scores

I’m applying to some pretty competitive schools (Exeter, Choate, Hotchkiss, Deerfield, etc.) and I was wondering if a 91st percentile on the SSAT would be good enough to submit? I’m applying as an incoming 10th grader, if that information is relevant. It seems a little low to be much of a benefit. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!

a 91st percentile is completely fine.

You should definitely submit.

I would submit. I think it’s the smart decision to make.

That score is fine.

Please understand that scores are not heavily weighted. Look at the many kids with 99% who were rejected last year.

Yeah, from experience, a 98% isn’t going to get you in, I had one last year and still got waitlisted. Plus, they’re still optional this year, so they will probably count less.
