76% SSAT should we submit for TO schools?

Hi,

For schools like Kent, Pomfret, Loomis, Peddie and Columbia Prep in NYC which are all test optional this year, should I submit my DD’s 76% SSAT score? She has great recommendation letters with 3.75 GPA and did great during her interviews.

Also, would you send in a violin sample video even though the student is an average hobby level but would like to join the orchestra in HS. Our AO said it will help with the admission if we send in but my daughter is definitely not an advanced playing level.

Thank you!

An SSAT score of 76 is fine for Kent, Loomis, Peddie, and Pomfret. (I am not familiar with Columbia Prep.)

The issue may be one of whether seeking merit money / financial aid or just seeking admission.

As presented, the violin video might be more painful than helpful.
