[quote=Anonymous]OP here following up. She did end up testing right around 1100 and we submitted her scores even though they were low for pretty much everywhere she applied. She applied to 9 schools and so far has gotten into 4/4 that we've heard from! I'm so excited for her. She did apply for elem. education.

Still mulling her options, but I found this thread really helpful, and wanted to report back. FWIW, College Board said her odds of getting in everywhere she applied were low, which is why she applied to 9 schools. I was honestly worried she might not get in anywhere, but she's doing great so far!

I don't want to post the schools she got into because that feels not as anonymous, but a few of them were ones that people here thought were a reach. Based on where she's in so far, I am guessing she will get into at least 2 more. The other 3 she applied to were really stretches (IMO), but she's already doing better than I expected, so I guess we will see.

She didn't want to apply to many smaller schools or schools no one has heard of, so she mostly applied to VA state schools and one in DE and two in PA.

I do think one thing that helped her is she got a 4 on an AP exam last year, so we submitted that. I also think she wrote a good essay.

Thanks for all your encouragement and I hope everyone else is getting good news![/quote]
