[quote=Anonymous]This isn't that hard people. If you kid has a 3.5 or higher and a 1500 or higher at a big3, they are "qualified" for any school in the country. But those schools have a very small acceptance rate, even for kids at the top of the grade and score spectrum. So...it really doesn't matter where your kid "stands" - find some schools they like and make sure they send in the best applications they can and let the chips fall where they will. Whether it is a 3.5 or 3.86 doesn't matter. Whether it is a 1510 or 1580 doesn't matter. They reach the threshold for consideration and from there, may get lucky. When you are talking about 3%-10% admission rates, it is a lottery and there is only so much you can do to stand out in a sea of thousands of qualified applicants.[/quote]
