[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm surprised to read that her peers haven't heard of her. I feel like she's everywhere. I first heard of her on the YCBK podcast, saw her book everywhere, and caught her in that documentary that came out a couple of weeks ago. I forget the name of it, but it also had Dr. Kat Cohen.

She seems to give good advice -- the only way in which I differ is she says not to report AP scores of 4 in the application process to a very wide range of schools -- not just HYPSM, but even UVA. My feeling, and the local private counselor we are using (who is locally known, well-regarded, and familiar with our high school and what its graduates need to do/have/show for particular colleges), says to always report 4s. If they see on the transcript that you took the class and you *don't* report your score, they may infer that you did very poorly. Otherwise, I generally think her advice is good. (We are not doing the whole "soundbite" thing. I did read the book, though.)[/quote]

^^^ Me again We were advised to "always report 4s" to Georgetown, UVA, BC, etc. HYPSM is not on my kid's list, so I don't know if we would be advised to report 4s there. (And yeah, I know you have to report all scores to Georgetown anyway.)[/quote]
