[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are test scores being used as a comparison? - if you have 1550+ SAT scores does not mean you will be accepted at a top school. All these top schools first look at the course work offered at the student' s school and how they did - did they excel and take rigorous classes. If you have money your kids can go to the most rigorous high school (students at these schools take multiple AP courses each year). A better comparison would be how many AP scholars come from affluent families and attend these schools.[/quote] Nope, that's not how this works. Most rigorous classes + high test scores + super high GPA does not mean you get accepted to those colleges. My magnet DC had all that, but DC is an Asian male, and no hooks. You either need a hook or get extremely lucky in the lottery.[/quote]
