“It may be that the time spent prepping for the test and repeating the SSAT could be time better spent on some other aspect of the application…”

This is the point I’m trying to make for current and future applicants. Thank you for stating it more clearly and concisely than I have (despite a number of attempts).

I mean, is it better to have a 99 than a 89? Of course. But if it was my kid, I’d check the “good enough” box and move on…I think too many people think getting a 99% is some guarantee.
