If your child was TO or below 1400 on the SAT, how are they doing in college?

Fine? What does this even mean? You know like 10% of kids or less get 1400+ on SAT? And the majority of colleges are still TO.
My 3 in college/graduated kids are great. |

| Half of the TO colleges admits do not submit scores, I am assuming they are lower than 1400. Yeah they are doing fine. |

| My daughter was in the mid-1300s and is graduating a year early from a T30 school. She has a 3.9 GPA. She was used to studying and working hard for her grades in high school, so college was an easy transition. |

| Mine is at a top SLAC(one without significant grade inflation). Currently w/3.8+ GPA after Sophomore year(mostly A’s, and A-minuses & 2 B+’s) . Couldn’t break a 1200 SAT, but did submit AP Scores(Multiple 5’s). Heavily involved in multiple activities, groups and associations at school. Just selected as a paid peer tutor for next semester. So I would say pretty successful. |

| 1350 is 90th percentile. Don't think you need to be worried about kids with SATs above 1300 lol. |

DS just graduated from Stanford this year. He is doing amazing. Has been accepted at Oxford for a master’s program. He scored 1340 in the SAT 5 years ago…. |

| Obviously this one brought out the insecure TO lying moms. No, your kid isn't at Stanford, they're at UMBC and struggling. 🙄 |

Doing well. She got into her top choice school with a substantial merit scholarship.
She’s pulling a great GPA and is quite happy. She landed well. |

| Mine was TO (his score was around 1130 or so the one time he took it). He is halfway done college and has a 3.0. He will probably graduate with around a 3.3 or do which was his final HS gpa. |

| SAT<1200 is really not a college material. Real college , that is. |

Of course these kids are doing well. Schools like Stanford have been graduating sub-1400 athletes and donor-class kids all along. Remember that even under test-mandatory they reported the 25th percentile mark, not the minimum. |

| The SAT doesn’t really relate to performance in class. Colleges exams aren’t like the SAT. |

It relates even less to performance later in life. (As me how I know.) Let it go, people. |

I'm going to blow your mind..... I got a 1240 and I make in the 1% income and have 1% with no parental help. I went to run of the mill state school too, where I graduated summa cum laude, had grad school paid 100% in a science field and worked my way up the corporate ladder. Oh, I did get a 34 on the ACT though and was in the top 10% of my very large suburban highschool. And because of my ACT score I got 100% scholarship at my state university. SAT is just a test. It doesn't predict anything. |
