I got a horrible score on the SSAT as in like 40 percentile are there any schools that might still accept me? Can you please list them out? Or should I just take the April SSAT again but will it be too late?
Might still? Decisions came out M10… If you’re talking about next year, then yes, prep for another test and do better on it.
What mrnephew said… If you are applying for next year, you have plenty of time to prep for another SSAT. And if you aren’t improving, make sure your grades and ECs stand out.
Remember that you’re not only judged by your test score, you’re judged by your personality and your interests and what you would bring to the community. And as it’s been said many times before, you don’t need to get into a big-shot school to be happy. There are plenty of hidden gem schools whose acceptance rates are a lot higher but are by no means a worse school.
Actually, yes, there are still schools that might accept you for fall '15. There are schools with rolling admissions and there are schools who sent out acceptances on March 10 who are still accepting applicants. If you don’t need any financial aid you are a lot more likely to find a spot, since most FA money is allocated now. Look on Boarding School Review for schools with an SSAT average closer to 40%. Then make some phone calls to admissions offices to see who is accepting late applicants. Smaller schools continue to interview and admit a limited number of students in the spring and summer. Investigate your options, and you may find something that works for you. Good Luck.
