<p>Hi. I just got my ssat scores today and am trying to get some opinions on them. Scores: verbal:99 math:81 reading:99 overall:99
schools I'm applying to are SPS, Exeter, Groton, and Holderness
Thanks!</p>
<p>Many boarding schools don’t like people w/99’s. Just so you know. They rather you get higher scores, but those are good enough…I guess.</p>
<p>Who told you that urbanflop?</p>
<p>It was just a joke. I am sure the schools love applicants with the highest possible score…
It is kind of duh thing.</p>
<p>Hehe thank you urban. So the 81 won’t matter?</p>
<p>Haha it’s so funny to see people take those kind of jokes so seriously:) in fact I think everyone on cc is probably pretty tense on the whole subject</p>
<p>So the 81 won’t matter? </p>
<p>It matters. Everything matters. It just won’t matter very much. It’s definitely not worth worrying about. Go make sure your essays are excellent.</p>
<p>Slightly harsh but yes I gues Lvillegrad is right. There is no point in dwelling on that at this point of the application process.</p>
<p>Slightly harsh but yes I gues Lvillegrad is right.</p>
<p>Sorry if that came off as harsh. I didn’t mean it to. I meant to say that the difference between straight 99’s and 99, 81, 99 is so small, that it’s really not a big deal and not worth worrying about. Those SSAT’s will have a positive effect on your chances of admission at any school. In some sense though, having straight 99’s would be a teeny-weeny bit better and there’s some very small probability that the difference could be the tiebreaker for the last spot at some school. But you have a better chance of being struck by lightning today than of that difference mattering, so don’t worry about it.</p>
<p>those scores are fine, don’t even sweat it, just focus on the other parts of your app</p>
<p>Thanks so much for all of the reassurances!</p>
<p>Are you also hellovello?</p>
