I agree with @LifeLongNYer. There is a big difference between the kids who take a weekly prep class, have personal tutors and superscore , and the ones who walk in with minimal prep and score in the high 90s. Both can work hard and be successful in a BS, but the starting points are vastly different. The student who had to work super hard just to get into a BS may not be able to take advantage of all that a BS can offer. Parents and students should consider this when looking at school options. The SSAT helps determine what kind of schools would be a better fit.
