[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Very stressed! 6 APs, studying for the SATs and extra curriculars.

My one big regret is I wish she got the SAT out of the way before junior year since she was done with the necessary math then.

And to the PP who said testing isn’t really required, maybe it’s not expected if you’re coming from some rural area and/or applying to a non competitive school. 
If you’re in the DMV where we have some of the best public and private schools in the country  , it’s definitely expected. If your child doesn’t submit their scores at this point; admission officers will automatically assume they are low, and it will have a negative effect on acceptances.

Couldn't disagree more.  Not submitting test scores does not mean admissions assumes they are low.  Regardless, I have one kid in a very competitive college who did not submit test scores and GPA was not 4.0+ w just a couple of APs.  The stress does not have to be this high but it is what the families make it to be. Senior year will turn it up a notch w/ application deadlines, peer competition of ED, EA and RD
Good luck all and all I can say to families is, please please be kind and make sure you manage your expectations well.  There is a college for anyone who wants to go..it just may not be what you envision[/quote]
