That’s the power of Student Prospect Lists (SPL), an active list of more than 40,000 prospective students who have shown interest in independent schools by creating an account on SSAT.org.
On September 1, 2020, Student Prospect Lists (SPL) became even more powerful with the ability to filter and segment student prospect lists using new lists types and new filters. SPL is now available for outreach by Local (students within 25 miles), Regional (within 150 miles), National (All domestic students), International, and All (including domestic and international).
