Will this SSAT score hurt my application?

SSAT is one factor in amungst many for acceptance. High SSAT does not gaurantee acceptance, low SSAT does not gaurantee rejection. I always find it interesting that forums try to provide for individual posters a kind of way to confirm or allay their fears. If you look at http://www.boardingschoolreview.com/lowest_acceptance_rates.php
you’ll see that even the lowest acceptance rates are 1/5 but that takes into account all of the 11th and 12th grade applicants that are even lower rates, the day students that have a lower acceptance rate, as well as all the applicants that apply late, (again lower acceptance rate here). So if you apply on time as a 9th grader and boarder, your probably more in the 1/2 or 1/3 acceptance rate.

Hopefully you had a good interview and have good recommendations.

Good luck
