<p>What I heard from my ALO was that they simply look at PSAT scores—if you score above a 65 on each section you get to go. Although I received a commended score on my PSAT, I was rejected from SLS since I got a 61 on the reading section. The good news, though, is that even if you get rejected from SLS, you can still receive an appointment to the academy. They look at your SAT scores, and above a 650 on each section, according to my ALO, qualifies you as “admissible”.</p>
