<p>Hi, all.</p>
<p>I got my Nov. SSAT back and it was very good! I got 99% for all categories. I don’t know why but I am really good at standardized tests. I just studied two mock tests before actual SSAT and I almost got Math and voc. 800 and Reading 780.</p>
<p>My problem is GPA. I am in honor class but got 3 Bs. My school is academically very tough school and my GPA is horrible. Additionally I often forget my homework and that is hurting me!! ( I am very forgetful person!!) </p>
<p>Do you think top boarding school would accept me regardless mediocre GPA?
My ECs are very good so I do not worry about ECs.</p>
<p>For academics, schools will care more about your rank in class and what teachers say about you than your GPA because some schools grade tougher than others. For instance, if they say you forget your homework schools might question whether you are ready. High test scores and lower grades (though yours might not be for your school) can signal “smart but lazy/immature/disorganized” High SSATs and good ec’s will help you. You should work to improve your organizational skills now because you will need them in any high school.</p>
<p>What subject did you get those B’s in?</p>
<p>I got Bs in Math, History and PE. I think teachers whom I asked to write recommendation will mention about my forgetfullness… Organization skill is the one of the skills I am intending to develop while I am in BS…</p>
