[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So this board has me so freaked out for my DD.  She is junior this year at a MCPS “W” school.  Honest to goodness, after reading stats of kids who are t getting into schools with near perfect test scores and grades and ECs, I am wondering what her chances will be to gain acceptance to schools

Her Stats are 1300 and 4.61 W and 3.97 UW.

Tell me where your child was accepted with similar stats!  Give me hope!  [/quote]

Based on academic trend, my VA sophomore will likely end HS with a 4.0 WEIGHTED GPA but a much higher SAT (he's already at 1500).  What's in store for him, if your DD has to go trade school? He's male (obv.) and Asian to boot!  McDonald's academy?[/quote]

Send him to Europe.

Indian American cousins attended Edinburgh and LSE after striking out at t20s and ended up with way better experiences than you get at most t20s

I'm having similar thoughts, but wondering about re-insertion back into the US, either for employment or grad school. European undergrad programs are 3 years. Do US grad schools accept those? [/quote]

Yes. Edinburgh and Lse are extremely respected and a known quantity. Though to be fair Edinburgh is 4 years (Scotland is 4 years not 3 like in the south) and a ton of Lse kids pick up a masters degree And stay another year or two so you end up on the same time line as American grads for international jobs

One got a job at FAMANG and one got a job at a bulge bracket bank — both in nyc.
