[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say ^^ that my kid is in state. My point is that sometimes the kids just can’t do better. My DS has severe test anxiety, actually threw up outside school before his AP calc exam. Since he Didn’t have a 1500+ he applied only to places that were in range for his score, even though his GPA could’ve gotten him into a more competitive school.[/quote] Interesting as DC has a high ACT, but lower GPA so DC is not applying to more competitive schools. Last night DC said wistfully that they are convinced they could get B+/A- grades at most schools (not the hard core STEM) in the country, but the 3.2 9th grade marks are a weight on now much higher grades and believes the lower marks hinder their ability to shoot for a more competitive school. GL to your DS![/quote] Emory and the UCs don't consider ninth grade, if those are of interest. And smaller schools are more likely to have time to see the upward trajectory.[/quote]
