[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is my DD doomed? She had a horrible 9th grade. Hated the school socially - very difficult being a minority at her school. 10th grade B student and 11th A student. She is just more focused on the important things like getting into a good college. Her overall GPA is 3.4. She is a minority with 3 varsity sports (doesn't want to play in college - even if she could) and lots of community service and other activities. She missed the SAT because it was cancelled last minute. She will take it though. I can tell you she did not cheat!!! She didn't have the distractions of drama, etc.[/quote]
PP here. Your DD is exactly the sort of kid I was talking about. She's an upward trajectory student. Should she be penalized because it happened during the pandemic? Are college admissions staff going to reject her because her A's occurred during the pandemic? No, no they will not. Regardless of SAT/ACT status.

This is the difference between some discussion board rando touting the hand-wavy concept, "Admissions is gonna penalize you!", and the reality that it's not apparent which student is upward-trajectory vs. cheating.[/quote]
