I also know that character and thirst for learning also are what these schools like in students. I consider myself quite intellectually curious, and I love to learn.

I think you’ll need to check back in with SSAT scores; but even then there isn’t anyone here that can really predict your chances of admission, only point out strengths and potential areas of concern. As I’m sure you’ve read on this forum there are fewer spots for 10th graders. Are you from a less represented area of the country? Could you be considered an impact athlete in any of your sports? I imagine you are studying for the SSAT so I wish you the best in that!

@AppleNotFar Unfortunately, I live in an over represented region. However, I am artistically inclined and have messaged all the schools about my talent in those areas. As for the SSAT, when I take the practice tests I get a 2247, which is a 92nd percentile. Thanks for your help.
