Will my SSAT scores hurt my chances?

Prep School Admissions

<p>I know what you're thinking, "Ugh, another 'are my scores good enough' thread." But this is the only part of my application that I worry about the most.</p>

<p>My scores:
Math- 49%
Verbal- 78%
Reading Comp.- 97%
Overall- 84%</p>

<p>I was extremely happy that I got the 97%, but I worry that my Math score will be my downfall. I've read places that as long as you score upper 80's and up you should be fine and anything lower you should consider taking the test again, but I feel my overall could sway into both of those categories with the schools that I'm applying to (Andover, Exeter, Middlesex, NMH, and Mercersburg).</p>

<p>I am a student at Middlesex. I would say that your scores aren’t necessarily going to hold you back, but they won’t help your cause either. If you have good grades and good extracurriculars then your SSAT scores could be overlooked.</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK WITH THE PROCESS!!! I know it can be stressful but it all works out in the end.</p>
