[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huh?  Why would they care about score declines?

All colleges care about the average scores or mid 50% range they report to the public It affects their prestige and ranking. The ones like Princeton that has been TO and also accepting a lot more LIFG than before and continue to accept athletes will be most affected. Once they have to disclose scores for every admitted student, their average will drop like rocks. [/quote]

Highly selective colleges get high scoring applicants all the time, in fact they reject a large number of 1600 every year.  There is no deficit of high scorers at places like Penn, Hopkins, or MIT.  A high score without more isn't moving the needle.  I just don't understand how your logic works.  It's very one dimensional. [/quote]

there actually isnt that many 1550+ with all 5s and leadership EC and published research--its much more rare than you think, my kid got into all ea which we were baffled by, for engineering, maybe being wf was hook but i think it was the high test numbers and then many social leadership ecs--kids in her school had either the numbers or the social part--none with both--now we will see if she gets in to private or ivy-she lacks awards and an art hook-which the art hook is a big minus for ivy[/quote]
