[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That being said, I’m dubious that the SSAT is a major factor in Prep admissions.  [/quote]

Why? What exactly is Prep looking for in the admissions process? [/quote]

The school takes a holistic review and the SSAT is one piece. There is a minimum score and looking to make sure the scores are fairly even. I promise you it is not the 95 percent that everyone states. More important is grades and honors courses if offered, Catholic faith but we know non Catholics so it is possible to attend and. it not be Catholic. Yes helps to come from a Catholic k8 and that makes sense because they are looking for students that embrace the Catholic teachings etc. I support a spot for local schools. Some far out Catholic schools may not be as easily known and those boys deserve to be considered. Also a talent which can be sports or music. Most important is service work -unique and dedicated service work is hugely important. They also want to know that your child really wants to be there. Hope this helps. Attending Prep has been life changing for our son. He loves the school and is way more focused on faith and service work than I every was in high school.[/quote]
