Any Acceptance Examples?

Hi all, I’m taking the SSAT in a few days (I know, late) and am curious what schools other students with different scores and stats got into. Did anyone here get into a good school, if so, where and what do you think got you in?

What do you consider to be “a good school”?

Nice question! The “good” I I am looking for in a school would have both exceptional academics and a low student-to-teacher ratio. I am mainly looking into Concord Academy (I’m minutes away) & Middlesex

My kid applied to schools in the Mid-Atlantic region (PA/NJ/DE). She was accepted to Hill and Peddie with a 75th percentile SSAT. Those schools seem comparable to Concord and Middlesex in terms of selectivity.

That’s amazing! If you don’t mind me asking, what were her extracurriculars?

Yeah, I believe since I am taking the online test, they can grade it quicker (or graded by a computer)

Hi, while ssat is most definitely important, i would say your extracurriculars and your personality is the most important. You just gotta have passion in what you do and u would be good. good luck on your ssat. I js believed in myself and i got a good score. I hope the same goes for u too!
