Some surprises here.  SSAT was not that good (Math 55%).  However, we tried very, very hard with the rest of the application.  Submitted recommendations and other material (not required).  i have renewed faith in the application process - they really do look at the whole picture![/quote]

It is so nice to hear from someone whose DC's scores weren't in the 90th+ percentile. Thank you for sharing and giving others hope! [/quote]

This is with my experience as well.  My daughter did terribly on the math portion of her SSAT and overall scored well below 90th percentile.  All is not lost.  She got accepted to top school choice.  The rest of her application look quite impressive and it seems she did very well at the interview (as DC told me herself.)[/quote]

Believe it or a not, many private schools are looking for just a well rounded child.  They are not placing so much emphasis on standardized testing.  Same goes with the colleges.  [/quote]
