Can you share approx SAT score and college acceptances so far? Curious to understand how a 99% HSPT correlates to high school success. Thanks!

Sorry, meant this for the 99% PP, but also would be interested to hear from the 98% PP.

Who says their DS is at the age where he is taking the SAT and applying to college?

DD got a 99% on the HSPT. She is currently a sophomore, so no SAT yet. She rec’d a 1390 with no prep on PSAT. She is a good test, taker and loves math.
DS had a 89% on HSPT and a 1390 on SAT (no prep). Math is his limiting factor so we will do some math prep and take it again late summer. Part of this is because he does not have advanced math class.

10:18 yesterday said DD is a senior at GZ, who would have presumably taken the SAT and applied to college at this point. Again, sorry for responding to the wrong post. My bad!

I've seen that on the website and the letter that came with HSPT scores but I don't know if it's automatic for everyone in those ranges or if the phrasing of the word eligible means you might or might not get it. Also curious what the requirements are for it to be renewable. I assume a certain GPA.

Does anyone have experience? Otherwise we will find out in a few weeks, I guess.

Same question here for DJO. Also not sure if the percentiles are national or local percentiles, if anyone has experience there.

DS had 99% HSPT. Don’t remember psat, but was 1 point from NMSF (if only we lived in another state!). SAT 1490. Minimal prep.

What is the score is 99 across the board except for one??? Do they consider grades and transcripts?

I’m the PP. DS took SAT twice- 1470 with no prep, then did some prep with a tutor and got 1520. Maybe he could have done better with more attempts but he got 760 on both sections and felt maxed out. He’s loved every part of Gonzaga and made great friends. Cant say enough good things. College still TBD and I think might be identifying if I got more specific right now. But in terms of academic challenge and preparation for college, Gonzaga has been amazing for him.
