New to private school world. DC is applying to 9th grade Trinity,Dalton etc. His ISEE scores: Both Math sections= 9's, Both Reading & Verbal Reasoning=7's. Excellent grades( top of his class). Applying for FA ( if that matters). Are they good enough? What are typical scores for kids that get in? Thk u for any input.

DC is at one of the schools on your list and got into 9th grade with ISEE scores that were lower than your DC's. 7s get you in the door and then they look at everything else. They look at the whole package.
I think those scores are amazing. NYC private schools tend to favor the verbal and like to see 8s, but 9s on math are outstanding.
