[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd like to start this thread up again. My DC completely bombed the HSPT. Really bombed. Below average. I'm very surprised and gutted. I'm concerned no one will take us now. A/B student, NJHS, extracurriculars, pretty good essays. We never assessed DC for learning disability. Did anyone get into a school with a below average score?

Did your DC take the practice exam that was offered over the summer? If so, and they did better on that one, I would absolutely send those scores over. If they didn't, I'd reach out to admissions, explain the situation and ask for their advice. I think it depends on things like where you are looking, if you are Catholic, and if you are coming from a Catholic K-8. You will probably be ok at a school like BI or DJO if you are Catholic/coming from K-8, they take a wide range of students and prioritize Catholics. You will have a much harder time at schools like Visi/Gonzaga unless there is another hook like star athlete or legacy. Good luck, this is a really stressful time![/quote]

No I think we were a bit late to the game. We are coming from public and started studying in the fall. Practice at home tests were fine, not at all stellar but fine. I wish I knew about the practice exam in the summer. Is that for catholic K-8s? [/quote]
