[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Georgetown REQUIRES that you report ALL the scores. So if you did some shenanigans to avoid that... at least don't pretend to other parents on DCUM that they can do the same easily.

???? What am I pretending? I literally said " I know you have to report all scores to Georgetown anyway." My child will report all their score there.[/quote]
