Chances for Top 10 Boarding with Bs

Lots of applicants are taking rigorous courses and have very high grades so you would probably need to explain that well. SSAT is basically a benchmark, so it would help if you had a good score. Good recommendations would also help a lot.

I don’t think doing the summer program for any school would increase your chances that much. If you really want to go to boarding school, I recommend casting a wider net unless you have a good local option to fall back on. ECs look nice so based on what you’ve shared I’d say your daughter has a good chance.
