Aspirant94 is correct. SSAT is not everything. I did not get admitted from Andover and Exteter even though I got 97% and perfect grade reports.
I am confident about my EC records as well. It really depends on your cultural background, geographical location, family legacy. etc. Of course you should be good at academic as well. There are so many good students applying. I believe I did not get my first choice just because I am asian american. most of the schools admit about 20% day student, 20% family legacy, 10-15% international student, 10% sports or other talented students. The real competition among the general pool is less than 40%.
Even 40% should be distributed across the gepgraphical and racial board.
