[quote=Anonymous]98% overall would qualify your child for the top schools in the nation - here in DC as well as Exeter, Andover, etc. 93 or 94%, plus a perfect score is incredibly good and also shows a kid who isn't lopsided -- some kids may have 86% in a category and 70% in another -- not your kid. If your child has some ECs to show she'll likely be participating in the school community once enrolled (sports/music/etc.), then she's going to get lots of acceptances I'd bet. It's worth noting though -- I have heard that some and perhaps many schools won't accept kids who are off the charts geniuses though who'll be outright bored (and maybe disruptive) if the school's course offerings will be too low (e.g., a kid doing 12th grade math in 7th grade) -- unclear if that's your child. For those ultra-kids, a high-level public school might actually be better and have more options.[/quote]
