[quote=Anonymous]The threshold for boarding schools (Deerfield, Hotchkiss, Choate) is 85th percentile, though exceptions will be made. It's about 93rd percentile for Andover, Exeter. Other factors (top athlete, special talent, URM) could affect that. It's a case-by-case thing. Additionally, sometimes a 98th or 99th percentile is a disadvantage. It might suggest a lack of balance, or that the kid overly prepped, etc. Most schools want very well rounded students who bring something beyond academic prowess to the school. Being good in a sport can help a lot. [/quote]
