Hi, a parent here. Daughter applying for 9th grade 2023 in Top 10s.

SSAT - not taken yet but did a mock test with no preparation, 2274/2400

Grades:
7th Grade: Literacy, Science, Social Studies As, Math B, French B
6th Grade: Mostly Bs.
She goes to an independent school for gifted students that offers curriculum above grade levels with very rigorous grading systems. 6th grade 93% in literacy and science were Bs. Class was divided into 3 groups for math (fast, average, slow) and she has always been in the fast with grades of “B”. However, her standard test for math was 99 percentile.

Awards:
Top prize for State Junior Science competition; Best in Category award (Aerospace)
Participated in Robotics competition at world level

Attended Andover Summer program. Grade is at the top of the class so far.

Community: Created and manages an on-line chatroom for her class.

Grade is a weak point. Will strong SSAT and recommendations offset it?

Thank you!
