这是准备和提交申请时最常用的两种途径. Generally, 完成正规博彩平台入学程序的最有效和最方便的方法是使用 Standard Application Online (SAO). It is accepted by almost 600 schools across the nation. It is accessed through your child’s current account at SSAT.org. You will use the SSAT account to manage applications, request recommendations, and, if you choose, eventually distribute SSAT scores and complete the Character Skills Snapshot. It is basically a one-stop application system. “共同申请”系统的好处是在第二所学校申请时开始生效. SAO将在整个第二所学校的申请中填充第一所学校完成的工作. 学生应在申请第二所学校之前完成第一所学校的全部SAO申请. At that point, additional applications can be generated. Each application can be customized by institution if a family so wishes.
如果您无法访问您的SSAT帐户或与您的登录信息有问题, please contact SSAT’s Family Support Line # at 609-683-4440 or info@ssat.org.
Another application system that is used is Gateway to Prep Schools. 大约有60所学校接受这种申请系统，只有不到12所学校专门使用这种系统. You will create an account at www.gatewaytoprepschools.com. 预科学校入门申请很常见，通常只在候选人的一般简介和传记信息收集中. Most of the short answers and general application essays are unique. It requires much more work by the student.
In short, choose to use the SAO if a school accepts it. It is a more efficient and user-friendly choice.
Contact from Secondary Schools
You and your child may receive correspondence from admissions officers, program leaders and coaches from secondary schools. If you have any questions about their tone or meaning, please contact me and send along the correspondence. You may receive invitations to other virtual events. 在这个过程中，你不觉得你需要与未来的学校积累面对面的时间吗. You are not obliged to attend; however, it is a good way to get a feel for the school.
TOEFL
If your child has updated or new scores, please send the complete score report to Julie in pdf form ASAP at jfred@abadiadetortoreos.com
Character Skills Snapshot
这个评估可以被招生人员用来获得关于八个性格特征的额外信息. It is optional for nearly all schools and required by some. If you opt to have your child take the Snapshot, we suggest that they take it later on in the process, but before the application deadlines. Access to the CSS is available in your child's SSAT portal. If you have any questions about the CSS, please reach out to Clayton.

Graded Essay Uploaded
A graded essay may be required as part of your child's application. 这是你的孩子和他/她现在的英语或历史老师讨论和选择的一篇文章. Your child will then upload it into the appropriate application portal. There is often some sort of form that accompanies the essay. The essay need NOT be the best grade of the year thus far, 但应该是英语或历史课上的文章，最能体现你孩子的代表性学术写作. Some students may have already completed this step with our help here on campus.
