Keep in mind that the average SSAT scores at the schools is an AVERAGE-- some scores above, and some scores below. As long as your score is in the ballpark of the school’s average, I wouldn’t sweat it, unless there are deficiencies in the rest of the student’s profile.

To echo other posters on this thread, I would widen the net and add a couple of higher admit-rate schools. It is a crapshoot. Not only do highly qualified kids get rejected because of more qualified kids, they also get rejected because of less qualified kids (Tufts effect).
