Im a female freshman at my local high school and I am applying to Deerfield, St Pauls and Governors as a repeat but at Berkshire I am applying for 10th. I always get all A’s but sometimes I will get 1 B+. My extracurricular activities include; French club, Model UN, student council and varsity tennis. I am trilingual and I lived in Colombia for 6 years, which was a wonderful experience. I believe my interviews went exceptionally well and also I believe my essays are very well written, creative and cogent and In addition my recommendations are fantastic and my teachers spoke very highly of me. The only thing I’m immensely worried about is my very low SSAT scores which is 40%. Regarding my low score I completely comprehend it doesn’t meet any of these schools criteria, and I myself believe its appalling and I should’ve done much better due to the fact its on simple and broad concepts Ive previously learned and have aced in school. The score was not due to lack of preparation, in fact I studied a lot and I had taken 4 practice scoring all above 85%. Its just when I went to take the test I completely freaked out and I grew very anxious which lead to blanking out throughout the test and I just felt so out of it. I felt so much pressure from myself to do exceptionally well that I lost my self in the midst of fear of failing.
I sent an email to the people who interviewed me explaining my experience with the test and they all replied and seemed very understanding, its just that Im very worried my score will destroy dream of getting into these schools. Due to the previous points what do you believe my chances are of getting into these schools?
