<p>UrbanFlop, I received my SSAT scores today. The results are as following:
Verbal- 718 (84%)
Math- 689 (62%)
Reading- 722 (93%)
Total- 2127 (83%)</p>

<p>Um…well…for me…I immediately thought “you’ve been cheerleading since 1st/2nd grade?” and kind of wondered what you could have possibly been cheering for/at so maybe admissions would also likely want to discuss that.</p>

10

<p>Cheerleading starts really early though. Like my school holds cheerleading camps for kids in like the 1st and 2nd grades and there are cheerleading programs for little kids all over my town. All sports start early really.</p>

11

<p>Yeah, kids join cheerleading really early on, sometimes as young as 4 or 5.</p>

12

<p>Exactly, my town starts with sports pretty early. (And I cheer for football).</p>

<p>Okay, thanks so much! Do you think that my Math score will affect my chances? I know it is very low, but I am applying for FA and we don’t have the money to retake it…</p>
