That also happened to me last year. I had a 2376 SSAT and still got rejected/waitlisted. If you reach 87 percentile, that is perfectly fine and you can check off a good SSAT score. You should definitely focus on your ECs. Maybe also try a sport that BSs offer and try to get medals for some of the other activities. Most importantly, develop a “spike.” BSs are looking for a well rounded CLASS not well rounded students (but this usually doesn’t apply to the smaller sized boarding schools)
