[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]tip: take a real SSAT now that won't count for admission next year to know what the score may be. That will give a good idea if the range of schools to target. Some of the schools mention here are in fact rather tough admits, my straight A kid with SSAT in the high 90s, full pay was WL at one. Boarding is a great experience under the right circumstances but cast the net wide, as you seem to do.[/quote] This is good advice. But all bets are off if your kid excels (and I mean really excels, as in is recruited) for a sport. My DS is a decent student (SSAT scores in the 80s) but is a two sport athlete, varsity every year of high school. He was accepted at 6 of 7 schools, WL only at Groton. All of the schools are mentioned in this thread, all are in NE.[/quote]
