[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did I understand the article correctly that the higher score was 1230?

That is still a really low SAT score, and would have more than a few incorrect answers.  Is it possible that one section matched exactly the kid on one side of her, and the other section matched the kid on the other side?

1230 is 77th percentile nationally. Get out of your bubble![/quote]

But 1230 is still not scholarship level and in the article she is talking about scholarships.

She has a lot more to go if she wants scholarships.[/quote]

The Florida Medallion Scholarship is guaranteed for Florida high school students going to Florida state schools with a 1170 SAT and a 3.0 GPA.  It's about 20K, and can make a huge difference in a young person's ability to attend college.

So, yes that 300 point jump has a potential to make a big difference.[/quote]

It would be (roughly) 20K over the course of 4 years or 75% of Florida in-state tuition.  They need at least 75 documented service hours on file, too.

If she got an institutional scholarship on top of that she would be doing pretty good.
