<p>I'm not sure if I'll get into some of these schools. Here are my stats:
-- 92% in Math, 79% in Vocabulary, 56% in Reading (I know, sort of bad)
-- Co-captain of my school football team (competitive)
-- (For my 1st trimester in 8th grade) A in English, A- in Math, and B+ in French, Science, and History
-- 3 years of experience in Football and Trombone
-- 4 years of experience in Baseball and Art
-- 1-2 years of experience in Robotics, Computer Science/Programming, and Community Service</p>
<p>Here are the schools I'm applying to:
-- Exeter
-- Andover
-- Choate
-- Deerfield
-- Loomis Chaffee
-- Hill
-- The Webb School
-- Lawrenceville
-- Peddie
-- Taft
-- Kent</p>
<p>What are my chances in getting into these schools? I'm also taking another SSAT on the 10th of January, so what scores do I need to get into at least half of these schools? I know that there are more factors such as your interview and your essays, but what would be my chances solely based on these stats? </p>
<p>Well you definitely need to bring up your score for the big league schools like exeter, Andover, Deerfield, Choate, and Lawrenceville, which means, to be safe, you need a overall average of above 83-84(you have a 75% overall). Your ECs are pretty good, though maybe a little too spread, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Do you have any particular achievements? Those always help a lot. But unless you have good achievements and your interview and essay are both really good, your seat definitely needs to go up. But even if it doesn’t, don’t lose hope. I’ve known people who had worse scores than you but their essays were so good, they ended up getting in. For the smaller schools like Peddie, Taft, Kent, Hill, and The Webb School, you have a pretty good chance, as long as your essays and interview was at least average or above average. </p>
<p>Andover has an average SSAT percentile of 94, and Deerfield’s is 87. Lawrenceville’s is 85. You can’t really be “safe” for these schools. Taft, Hill, and Choate are in the 80’s as well, which means that it’s going to be difficult to be accepted there as well solely looking at test scores. </p>
<p>By the way, @mattlim1207 the overall SSAT percentile isn’t the average of all three subsection percentiles. </p>

<p>In my opinion, ur grades are decent, ur extracurriculars good, but u might want to work on improving your ssat scores. Top tier HADES schools (hotchkiss, andover, deerfield, exeter, and st Paul) has abt an average ssat percentile of 90 to 94 so make sure u either try for the low 90s or high 80s. Also, u mentioned that u play football. This is probably ur hook, and try to emphasize this, as schools like exeter and andover are particularly fond of strong athletic ability. What have u done for community service? What subject(s) are u strongest at, and what have u achieved or accomplished in them? U also mentioned robotics and computer science. What have u learned/do u enjoy it? And what r ur goals in this area? These r qs u should try to answer and let the AOs know. :)>- good luck!!! I think u would be in the running if u could have more credentials in football and computer science/robotics</p>
<p>Oh and be sure to contact any football coaches at the schools and express ur interest</p>
<p>Oh yeah thanks for reminding me it’s just been a long time since I’ve done research on it(Took the very first one)</p>
<p>I’m also applying to lawrenceville.
I looked at 2 websites: In 2013: lawrencevilles average SSAT is 84 and in 2014: lawrencevilles average SSAT is 93.
