[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good stats are necessary but not sufficient for admission. DC is Columbia-bound with As and A-s with 1560 SATs from a Big 3. Just one AP at the start of senior year. Accepted at Brown and Berkeley too. Unhooked, just embarrassingly [b]strong recs from teachers and college counselor[/b]. [/quote] IMHO This is by far the most overlooked aspect of the application process. Kids are different each year. Adcoms read thousands of applications. The few consistent factors are the reputation of the high school and its staff. If a well respected HS guidance counselor says "This is the smartest, nicest kid I have had in years" and the stats support that, I believe that is the ultimate catalyst. Congrats to your kid![/quote]
