Thank you for taking the time to write all this! I thought about it a little more, and I agree with what you’re saying. (I will have to talk to my parents about it)
I don’t know if you need more reinforcement, but having now listened to BS admissions people talk about this several times, I think pretty much every time they have emphasized they fully understand the SSAT pool is highly self-selected, so being 79th percentile in that group is a lot more meaningful than you might be used to with broader test populations.
I agree 100% with IndySkeptic. If you don’t submit scores, then the AdCom will assume that they are much much worse.
Update:
Accepted to Emma with 46k FA
Rejected from Loomis
Huge congrats (again)! Hopefully that’s enough FA for Emma, but considering you’re attending revisit day, I assume so! Sorry about Loomis, but I hope you can attend Emma if you like!
Congratulations on your Emma Willard acceptance! My daughter has been very happy there and grown in so many ways.
Thank you so much! Would it be okay if I dmed you with a few questions?
