[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, I wasn’t clear.  He is looking at schools where a 34 is mid range (33-35).  So a 34 is right in the middle.  So that would be a situation where score should not hurt (but probably also not help).  Am I thinking about that correctly?

Thanks.[/quote]

I'm sorry, but what???

Do you realize that there are other parts of a college application aside from the test score(s)?

At my kids' high school, the kids with the perfect grades and SATs did not get into the top schools. Why? I suspect that they are not all that well rounded or interesting kids. I can think of one girl in particular who is an unbearable child. (She was on my child's sports team.) I can't imagine any teacher writing a nice recommendation for her! But she had a 4.0, and did well on the SAT.

The kids I know in the 1500+ 3.6+ range got into some of their reaches and got rejected from others. They're nice, smart, interesting kids who don't focus 100% on test scores and grades. [/quote]
