[quote=Anonymous]I assume you mean the HS’ college counselor is the one who told her that the university is shifting admitted slots away from early to regular decision this year and she attributes the smaller numbers to that and that she expects more regular admissions to follow. My first question would be to ask the CC: is this a best guess or based on something (a communication) directly from the college? Then, I’d look at my kid’s ECs, awards, impact, leadership, etc. and then discuss them with my kid (esp in light of the school’s CDS). You seem to be exclusively relying on GPA and SAT testing. Third, I would see if the Scattergrams data doesn’t give a full picture. For example, in FCPS Scattergrams gives the GPA and SAT only. If a kid went TO or used the ACT, you don’t have that data. That means a kid with a high GPA, a 1250 SAT may be green checked as admitted but we wouldn’t know he used a 36 ACT for his application. [/quote]
