[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The 9s are great!  The 5s are too low for competitive schools, but are perfectly fine for second tier privates or catholic schools. My guess is your daughter will get into a solid second tier if that what you're aiming for.  Some of the more competitive schools looks for a total of 30 or anything above 7/8.  The most competitive schools want mostly 9s and they get that because there are so many applicants.

Of course, it also depends on her overall profile. What does she bring to the school? Athletics? Arts? Music? Does she have a special talent the school can help nurture? Is your family a good fit?  Can she be the token diversity candidate?  My kid just had an interview at a selective private school and the first question was "tell me about your parents".  Another question was "what does diversity mean to you".[/quote]

Don't listen to this.  
My white, non-legacy kid got into two Big3 schools for 7th grade with an ISEE of 6, 4, 7, 7.  She has several friends who were similar.

The schools put very little stake into this test.  It's one small point of information. If your kid's reading scores are 9s they'll love her as many schools think those are the most important. [/quote]
