[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS is very interested in Gtown Prep but has not done well on practice SSATs. He has mostly As (coming from public), is a good athlete and will get great recommendations. Wondering how important test scores are. Should we give up hope if below a certain score?[/quote]

Hello. Prep is a wonderful school and I think it is great that your son wants to attend. Yes SSAT is important but it is 1 piece of the puzzle. If your son is serious he should use the next month to help work on his score. Prep matters does weekly testing for clients who do their tutoring. This is a great investment.

If he is a great athlete, he should reach out to the coach in the sport he shines. He should have video ready. Have club coach also write a letter. Are you Catholic? Have CCD teacher or priest write a letter. He should also write his own letter to AD expressing why a Prep education matters to him. AD can see through parents or fake letters fyi. Say it is his first choice if it is. He should discuss why a Jesuit education is important to him. Go to everything that is admissions related. I know that wants boys who really want to be there. Good luck to him![/quote]
