<p>My son’s admission officer at Exeter said " We really don’t use the SSAT scores that much here at Exeter." He also said, paraphrasing: We turned down the majority of people who had perfect ssat scores last year. We are looking for well rounded kids. </p>
<p>I hope they look at the school information closely since my son is taking 10th grade classes in 8th grade. It’s hard to know what to make of teacher recs. Some teachers can be more critical or harder graders than others- how do they sort that out I wonder?</p>
