How to Apply for Private School After Traditional Deadlines

If your child was waitlisted, the SSAT has an Open Seat Listing Feature. Read more on how to apply for private school after traditional deadlines below:

“Whether you didn’t receive an offer of admission from your top choice school, didn’t get the financial aid package you needed, or are coming to the process after the admission season, there are many reasons why you may still be seeking the perfect independent school fit for you. There are many excellent independent schools who accept applications after traditional deadlines have passed.

If you haven’t yet enrolled at the school of your dreams, search for these schools by going to the School Search and selecting the semester for which you are applying in the “Open Seat Listing” field in the left column. This list is dynamic and updated in real time by our member schools, so check back frequently during your process. Each listing provides contact information, including mailing addresses, phone/fax numbers, and email addresses.

If your child will be retaking the SSAT, or taking the SSAT with short notice, we can help with test-taking strategies and time-management skills on tight deadlines. Our SSAT test prep program is customized to address each child’s individual strengths and weaknesses. Based on the results of an initial assessment, we develop a customized preparation plan to arm students with powerful and up-to-date test-taking strategies for all sections of the SSAT. Tutors monitor growth and adjust instruction, so all the tutoring is customized to the students’ specific needs. Students will learn how to make the most of their time, and answer the questions with a deeper understanding of how the test is constructed. Many students feel test-taking anxiety, which can affect their score, and that is why stress-reduction techniques are integrated in the instruction process. Your child will be confident and prepared on test day, even despite deadlines. Learn more about our SSAT test prep at BostonSSAT.com.
