[quote=Anonymous][quote] Your daughter's scores put her in the running for the more competitive LAC's/universities but probably not the most competitive. [/quote] I don't think this is an accurate statement without knowing more about the student. What is her class rank? Even if the school does not rank students, you can get a sense of where she stands from the guidance counselor. Also, what do her extra-curriculars look like? The sense I've gotten is that the SATs are more of a hurdle that need to be cleared, and once you have 2250 or so you're good to go and the schools focus on other things such as ECs, essays, etc. However, getting into the most competitive schools is a total crapshoot. "Being in the running" is just that. Your application won't be thrown out on the basis of SATs or grades; your application is then put into the still-enormous pile of eligible candidates.[/quote]
