Hey! As a current ABC scholar I’ll answer these questions.
How did you do on March 10?
Great! I got two acceptances. Im going to an amazing acronym school next year.
What was your experience with the matching process? Do you feel like the organization pushed you into a direction to advance their agenda? Did you apply to any schools on your own?
My experience with the matching process was great, but not the best for everyone. I personally got all the schools (and more) that I was referred to. (I applied to 11 schools in total) On the other hand, I know many people slightly disapppointed with their referrals and opting to retest for their schools. As well as, you can ask schools to request you vice versa. I absolutely believe ABC put me in the right direction. I didnt apply to any schools on my own. *Quick note: the schools I got accepted to were both recommended by ABC, so I wouldnt have gotten into boarding school without them!
Any tips to be admitted to the organization?
Maybe try to attend the informational session for ABC. I didnt do anything extra.
Did your student study for the “benchmark” SSAT? Are the scores used for ABC admissions?
I studied for the benchmark test and I am close to someone who got in by barely studying. On the ABC website it is said that they dont really act as If the scores are a largest part of the picture.
Would you recommend ABC?
I would 150% recommend ABC.
