[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get ready for heartbreak.[/quote] We are very aware of how competitive the landscape is. This is a kid who gets a "5" on the AP exam - but a C+ in the course Clearly we need to work with his HS counselor but was coming to DCUM to get a sense of resources. He just got back SATs and got a 1400 - and trying to figure out if it is worth it to take a prep class and increase SAT score if his GAP is going to wind up as a 3.5. [/quote] I don't think I'd put too much effort into increasing an SAT score already disproportionate to the GPA. I'd pay more attention to trying to claw back some of those points from ungraded assignments. Schools love to see the 5 on the AP exam, but with a C+ in high school they're going to worry if he can cope on his own at college.[/quote]
