[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is where the person comes in in college admissions. My sense is that a kid with those numbers could end up at a US news top 30 school if the 3.8 is from a rigorous high school and they have strong recs, ECs and essay. For safeties I would look at US news 55 - 75 range. [/quote] This poster is wildly optimistic. This was good advice several years back. [/quote] Why is this so wildly optimistic? A 33 is at the high end of test scores for many top schools and certainly the top 55-75. I wouldn't count a Top 20 school as a safety for anyone and consider those reaches for most kids, but why couldn't a kid like this get into schools between 25-75 on the rankings? Not definite but not high reaches. A kid with an A minus average and a 33 ACT should have a lot of options.[/quote]
