[quote=Anonymous][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]

There is actually plenty of kids like that in the realm of college admissions. How many 1550 plus kids get low AP scores? They are great candidates but not super unique. If you want to really narrow the pool you need to add a desired but not correlated variable like being a recruited athlete.[/quote]
