[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think your DC will be easily able to get into a top 30 school (either national or liberal arts) providing their schedule shows rigor. That said, I know that our school has counseled kids that [b]colleges don't love to see high standardized scores with lower-than-expected grades because it looks as though there wasn't as much effort put into school as there could have been. [/b][/quote] My child has a 3.3 unweighted GPA (8 APs) and 2330 SATs. The gap is about a diagnosed learning disability. I imagine that top 30 schools might interpret the gap to mean "smart; doesn't work hard," but lower-ranked schools, especially SLACs (which attract students who need smaller classes and more personal attention for a variety of reasons including LDs) are less likely to see it that way, especially if it is explained in this light.[/quote]
