Finding FIT

<p>Rose, I sent you a PM.</p>

<p>I’m inclined to agree with GMT about sending the WISC-IV, but I wouldn’t bother to ask first. In your parent narrative, I would definitely mention the Exeter summer experience, as it speaks to rising to the challenge.</p>

<p>BTW, I have a daughter at Emma Willard, who was also accepted to Exeter and a couple of other schools. </p>

<p>BTW, I wouldn’t use SSAT averages as the main criterion when comparing schools, or consider your daughter a “shoo-in” just because she is very smart. Even many of the schools out there with 70% average SSATs accept only a third of applicants. Which is not to say that your daughter won’t be one of them. But being extremely gifted is not a guarantee that she will be, either.</p>

<p>There are several threads from this year that address issues of “fit”, among them:</p>
