For international, the standard is just higher because there are too many applicants and they only allocate a very few number of the overall slots to international (e.g., at one school only 30/200 slots are for international). There can also be a lot of legacy kids who are international, and they tend to all have relatively good stats academically. Definitely apply again, and work on the SSAT. The SSAT expectations for international are way higher than for domestic students. Also recommend casting a wider net, and consider the Canadian boarding schools too.
