Phillips Boarding School Interview Questions

What interview questions do they ask you when applying to Phillips Academy Andover? Exeter?

After obtaining your top SSAT score with our help, you obviously need to hammer out all the other elements of your application to the top boarding schools.  One of the most nerve wracking exercises in the process can be the interview.  Since we help students get over the anxiety and prepare them effectively as a bonus to our services prepping them for the exam, we know many of the questions they will encounter.  So, we thought we would share a good number of them here.

And if you didn’t notice, we even include at the beginning what the folks at Andover say in a YouTube video.

Nevertheless, let’s address some of the questions prospective students are very interested in learning before they set their time with the admissions team:

What’s the Average SSAT score for Phillips Exeter Academy’s Admissions?

90% Percentile at a bare minimum” for Exeter

Updated 11/2022

You could easily argue that prospective students should score as high as 99% Percentile for the SSAT for Phillips Exeter Academy.  At the same time, as we’ll repeat time after time, it depends on all the other aspects of a student’s application/profile.  For example, if you’re an Olympic grade sprinter or child prodigy that’s discovered a new element to add to the Periodic Table, you may not need to score as high as a student who lacks other characteristics Exeter may be looking for in a future alum.

With that said, most future applicants are still looking for guidance (as well as their parents).  Without further adieu, we’ll provide all the guidance that’s been documented online.

Top 25 Boarding Schools

SSAT Master’s Top 25 Boarding Schools Ranking

The following is a list I created for a former employer while I was their lead SSAT Prep teacher.  As you can see, it’s labeled as “SanLi’s” list, but I created the methodology behind this which I shared with two of the top test prep and college consulting companies in Hong Kong.  Both companies have leveraged the list which display some of the “eight schools association,” sometimes considered the “Ivy League of Boarding Schools”.  Phillips Andover or the Hotchkiss School are two examples of this elite “collection”.  Ultimately, I’m the only one who knows the methodology behind why this set of schools are in the order that you see.  I will create another list soon, but in the meantime, please feel free to use this list for reference.
