I don’t think you should worry. Your SSAT score is not that bad, CC just makes it seem so. Just because a school has a median score slightly higher or lower than another does not mean a score on the low side of it will cut off any chance. Not at all. For the school have that score, they had to accept lots of people with much higher and lower scores. So don’t pay too much attention to statistics like that-- they mean little to the individual. You have great stats and great grades to combat your ssat score (which is actually quite good-- you did better than 70 percent of the country!), plus your personality, which I am sure is delightful. That will come across in your interview and essays.

My advice is not to stress, and not to limit yourself to schools with lower ssat score medians. If you want to try for HADES, go for it! There are plenty of kids with scores lower than yours at those schools. Good luck!
