Are these SSAT scores good enough for top DC privates?

Anonymous
Please give it to me straight; I don't want to waste more time and energy on this than is necessary.

Looking at 7th grade entry; hoping for a shot at one of the generally-considered top privates. Plan (probably) to apply to all. And I know that grades, etc. matter too, but...

SSAT -93 percentile overall
V, Q and R range from 79 to 97

Thanks for any thoughts.

looks good except that 79 for one subject; could be the differentiating factor if there is another applicant with similar package as your DC but got higher score.

Your child would definitely get serious consideration with these scores, though no one, not even with 99s across the board, is definitely in. Grades matter a lot, as do recommendations and extra curriculars.
