[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish they would separate the HSPT timing and score delivery timing from applications. We hear endlessly about how the top schools receive 1,200 applications for 250-300 spots. Isn't part of that because we have kids applying before they know if they are even really qualified? Or, put another way, wouldn't we be better able to direct kids to the right high school for them if we had this information? If my kid gets average SAT scores, they probably aren't applying to an Ivy League school either.[/quote] Some kids get in even with lackluster HSPT scores. (My kid did.) Schools are looking for lots of things, not just this test score. Grades, activities, etc. matter. Religion can matter (catholic schools want at least some catholic kids). Being able to pay full tuition on time helps. [/quote]
