[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This was back in the latte 90s, so probably very low relevance to today, but I went to UMD, on academic scholarship, likely because my SATs were above the 99th percentile. High school was so boring![/quote] My DC is 99th percentile SAT but B+ GPA with all honors and 10 APs. UMD was not even on the list the counselor suggested. Gut punch. Apparently, if you don't have nearly all As, you are toast.[/quote] What do the diagrams in Naviance show about applicants and admits? I think counselors have an experience and that experience is given outsize weight against other evidence. If a kid with your kid's stats from your kid's school looks like they have a good chance of getting in based on the Naviance scattergram or whatever that thing is called, then ignore the counselor. (I think with those stats, they should be able to get into any state flagship!) [/quote] Your kid sounds too notch to me. [/quote]
