Do ssat scores hurt??????????

<p>i got a 70% on my ssat’s (a 94% nationally) but otherwise i have a 3.6 GPA (out of 4) and all A’s and B’s
I also have so many EC’s including 5 sports, community service, i am in 3 bands,play 2 instruments, ect…
chance me… loomis,kent,hotchkiss,choate,taft???</p>

<p>Can’t help. The average SSAT scores at Loomis, Hotchkiss, Taft and Choate are all higher than 70%. Don’t know about Kent.</p>

<p>Yeah, but do i have a chanc eof getting in???</p>

<p>I forgot to add i also won teh award for most community service award, and i speak french… chance me!!!</p>

<p>you are below average. that’s all. if you had 90th percentile it would help you a lot. That would put you on the average level</p>

<p>k thanx guys… is it possible to take the ssat then see your score before you send it to schools?</p>

<p>@Yankeefan: Yes. Just don’t add any schools to the “Send To” list online until you get your score in the mail. Right after the Oct SSAT (like the day after), I got cold feet and pulled the two schools we had in “Send To” queue. After we received scores and I realized I had zero to worry about, I added some schools (including one from the list I had pulled) to the “Send To” list…</p>

<p>bump… is my ssat score really going to hurt me???</p>

<p>Can’t you retake the test?</p>

<p>Depends on where you are applying. Some schools don’t require the SSAT. You can use Boarding School Review’s search site ([Search</a> Boarding Schools](<a href=“http://www.boardingschoolreview.com/searchschools.php]Search”>Boarding School Search Tool)) to see which schools do not require SSATs.</p>
