<p>Overall- 95th percentile</p>

<p>Recommendations:
I am fairly sure I will have excellent recommendations from a variety of sources.</p>

<p>Other-
I go to an accredited, not academically good, public school in rural new england + I'm Irish caucasian- not a minority. I took the SSAT twice. </p>

<p>What are my chances? Do you have any suggestions?</p>

<p>Do you need FA and if so, how much? All the numbers looks stellar, but you should still apply to a wider range of schools just because it’s the smart thing to do.</p>

<p>I would need as much FA as possible- I’m not particularly wealthy, although I am more so than most in my community</p>

<p>You will have to take the SSAT again in the fall, but it’s good to know that you test well. That means it’s going to come down to fit not qualifications. You should think hard about fit and also about how you will come across in interviews.</p>
