Can strong SSAT or ISEE scores help international students from Dubai stand out?

Absolutely. For international students, strong scores can be a golden ticket to standing out. U.S. private schools love seeing solid academic indicators, and when they’re trying to evaluate transcripts from a different system, British, IB, or American curriculum in Dubai, a great SSAT or ISEE score offers clarity.

It says, “Hey, I’m not just a great student here, I’d be a great student there, too.” Even schools that claim to be test-optional still pay attention when those numbers are impressive. So if your child has the skills, let’s put them on display. It’s like sending a little academic fireworks show straight to the admissions committee.
