[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like your kid is perfectly fine, OP. Also for the crazies out there, 3.85 GPA is a high gpa (if at a non-grade-inflating private/public) and after talking to two AOs at top 20-ish schools, anything 1500+ is very high and you don't get much extra mileage raising it by a few points at this stage unless you are going into super impacted/competitive majors like engineering/CS and than the math score in particular needs to be very high. I've heard that people under-report SAT scores if the school is test optional and that has skewed the 25% and 50% averages per school too high. Apparently anything over 1350 (90th percentile) is solid for top schools (top 50-ish) and should be reported. [/quote]
