<p>I am applying to Wheeler School, Lincoln School for Girls, and Providence Country Day in Rhode Island for 8th grade in the academic year of 13-14. I am coming from a public school which is not at its best academic standing at the moment so I am sure that I am not up to par to the other private school kids. On the upside, I am active in sports. I get straight As in my classes and have ALWAYS been on the Suma Cum Laude honor roll. Recently, I had taken the SSAT on January 5th. I'm wondering if they are good enough for me to get in and get a scholarship? I was disappointed in my scores when I first had seen them.</p>
<pre><code> Score Personal Range Percentile
</code></pre>
<p>Verbal 662 644 - 680 65</p>
<p>Math 617 602 - 632 34</p>
<p>Reading 653 635 - 671 60</p>
<p>Total - 1,932 - 53rd percentile</p>
<p>Also, what can I do in the future to get better results for the SSAT? What do schools generally look for in applicants? Does the SSAT make a big difference in my acceptance into the school or does it only affect if I get a scholarship?</p>
<p>Please be as honest as possible. Even brutally honest is better than lying to make me feel better. </p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
