ssat 2319 (99 percentile), top public middle school in NJ. B, and A-, first chair clarinet, photographer with photos published on national magazines, 2 year clarinet, 7 years piano, avid tennis player (6 years), LOTS of community service, in a program called peer leadership (selected students can go)
I feel your chances are very high…Good luck!
You certainly deserve to be offered admission to several top prep schools based on your superb SSAT score of 99%, musical skills & tennis/athletic ability.
As always comes down to personality, recommendations and essays. There seem to be so many on CC with high scores (or maybe it is only that they are more comfortable sharing scores). Looks great to me. But then again so do most of those who are asking for chances.
Wow, you have lots of great extracurriculars. You play a sport, you play an instrument, you have a unique hobby, AND you do community service? Nice job. I’m pretty sure the admissions officers will be equally impressed as I am (or more so). Your SSAT score looks excellent as well. Now, it all boils down to a few very important elements: your interview, your essays, and your recommendations. Focus on making those perfect, and you have a pretty good shot, I believe. Any acronym schools (HADES, cough, cough) are always a reach for everyone, however, so keep that in mind.
sorry-no one “deserves to be offered admission to several top prep schools” You seem like a solid candidate but its impossible to predict: your score keeps you in the piles but doesnt get you in. good luck
Thank you to you all. Exactly what i need before m10
