            • ITA. LOTS of 98s out there. Great score, but won't stand out.

              • whatever you want to believe. A 99 will only give you one check mark. There are many many more things that schools look at which they won't overlook because I child happens to have a fantastic day on a test. NP btw.

                • A 99/99/99 will place your kid in a special pile of applicants as there are so few.

                  • sure. maybe at the schools you are familiar with. It is noted just like anything else. Two exact kids with a 98 vs a 99 is one thing but that does not exist. If you believe that a 99 will have a clear advantage over a 98 during admissions, I hope your dc has a 99. Not a big difference to any school. This is from my personal experience and every friend in nyc private academics.

                  • I don't think so. I have two dcs. One got a 99x3 and the other a "low" 99 due to a 99/98/99. Both dcs did equally well and both dcs had schools they got into and schools they did not. No one gave me any indication that either was so rare just that they had good solid scores. A good score just checks that box and nothing else. A kid gets in through the playdate and other needs of the school.

            • PS are not filled with only 99s. A 97 can shut you out

            • I know. Its supposed to pass for clever, I think, but just sort of stupid. Makes me doubt the triple 99's in fact!

              • Not OP, just couldn't help voicing my opinion on the negative post. I think most of us can relate when we have a happy piece of info that you want to share.

      • op: thank you. i am fully aware that there are kids who scored 99x3, and i am happy for those families. but right now i am focused on my own kid and we are so happy with the 98 score. she was always a "late" bloomer (verbally, developmentally, etc) when she was younger, so we have heard many theories. she is a smart kid - have always thought that and always will (98 score or not). :)

          • np: Agreed. Also anyone who does not celebrate the success of their kid (or walks around wishing she did better than a 98) has big problems... The fact that you see this for what it is (great news) and are so happy and proud of her makes me think she is going to do just great in life w/supportive, NON crazy parents

    • hate to burst your bubble, but my dd got a very high 98 last year and only got once acceptance (at a third tier school per UB). it really is only a piece of the puzzle.
