[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid has rock bottom SSATs (I really mean it).  We have been told by several schools that it's just not that important.  We are not shooting for top, top because that wouldn't be the right environment, but decent schools.  We have been repeatedly told by our middle school that ti will be ok since she has straight As and very solid recs.  Take the test and make the best effort and then let the cards fall where they may.  I'm choosing to believe the many people in admissions that have told me it is ok.  (We are full pay, so I suspect the check book helps, but it can't be everything.)[/quote]

Last year my daughter had REALLY low score. I was surprised when the schools we visited said they don't matter much and anything over 35% is okay. She was close to that overall. She is now a freshman and doing well at GDS. She got into every school she applied, except for one which was not a "big 5". We are not full pay and not a minority. She plays a few sports but not a superstar. Pretty well rounded kid and well liked by peers and teachers. Don't listen to people on this board. I was seriously freaking out the month of February about where she would end up. We live in bounds for a horrible DC public. Can't afford to move.[/quote]

Not the OP but, thank you for posting this. i sweat this blog is full of a bunch of tiger moms who stress their kids out to fall within the 95% and higher however, they are clueless to the fact their child will still stand side by side to other who have half the score and pay half the money.
