[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never pushed DC to do anything, but she had a real passion for getting into an Ivy. She's always chased "prestige," and lord I wish I know where she got it from. She's now at Yale and well...very very unhappy. Test optional 1380 SAT and 31 ACT. She's very creative, and I honestly see a future where she's in advertising, but she's too stuck in the MBB cycle to actually take up a passion. She hated her first semester academically and clawed to transfer. She stuck it out, but if I could go back, I really would've encouraged her to submit test scores and be at an appropriate fit.[/quote] Test scores matter. Many Ivies now require them again for reasons like this. They truly do correlate to achievement in college the studies they conducted demonstrate. My kid had a 35 ACT end of sophomore year and was done testing. The Ivy hadn’t been harder than private HS, in some cases easier. [/quote]
