[quote=Anonymous]I placed out of around a year of college even though I still went all 4 years.  It didn’t help me with admissions bc my high school gpa came from a pressure cooker and it wasn’t a good environment for me at the time.  I got into a good program based on my HS reputation.  My SATs were high, I even took ACT and got really high.  I had a mix of
4s and 5s on every AP I took (which was a lot I don’t remember the exact number).  There were also SSATs that were subject specific I think?  I did really well on those.  I had a very clear picture of being a relatively privileged kid who could take tests well but didn’t apply myself in the classroom and relied on natural talent to muddle through.  It was pretty accurate to be honest but I think the strong test performance both saved me and threw up red flags.

So my conclusion is that as it fits in with the overall pattern it can confirm a profile (good test taker, good student, etc) but isn’t going to  radically change trajectory.[/quote]
