SSAT and private high school applications

How much weight does this test carry?

Can you get into schools like Potomac, Flint Hill, Bullis, etc with average scores?

It looks like it’s optional at Flint Hill- would not submitting scores hurt application?

Average scores will likely not cut it at Potomac, which is a very competitive admit. I don’t know anything about Bullis. Flint Hill is a good school (despite the haters on this board) but it is an easier admit. Not submitting optional scores will not hurt the application.

Ask the school. They tend to have ranges.

Average national or average DC?

It probably depends on the grade but we didn’t need the SSAT last year for 7th grade admission at Bullis.
