[quote=Anonymous]Re "I got the impression that these schools do not routinely see many 99s on this test," I don't think that is true - they see quite a lot of them. Remember, "99th%" is both 99.0% (one of 100 kids on a universal norm - not just of kids taking that test) and 99.9% (one of 1,000). And kids have both verbal and math. So even at the tip top there is a range. Some of these schools weight also the school visit, and if the teachers don't like you or think you won't fit in well, then even 99.9 won't help (I know a case like this). My impression from watching several grades apply K-8 to HS: 99 range and well rounded and likable is almost a sure winner. 99 and likable also a great bet. But if the 99 is not there, it gets harder and harder. And if there is one big strike against, then chances go way down. [/quote]
