[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At fairly rigorous/prestigious private school but the SAT isn’t working out. Any suggestions? What schools realistically accept TO kids for RD?[/quote]

Posts like this make me sad.  You have a kid in the top 3% as far as SAT, and you're describing that as "not working out".  Your kid will have many choices, wonderful schools that might or might not be in the top 3% (That would be 80 schools)  and should be choosing based on what they love, and what they want in life.  But instead of describing your wonderful kid, to help us help you and them find what they deserve, you've only described this one thing that you think is a terrible weakness, not being in the top 2%.[/quote]
dp.. I get what you are saying, but for certain areas like DC, where there are a lot of high stats kids, 1400 is not *that* great.

FWIW, I have one academic superstar - 1580 SAT first and only try, and another who got a 1440.  We were all shocked, including DC, at the 1440 because they were consistently scoring mid/upper 1300s -- this was the second SAT attempt, plus several practices.  We are all thrilled with the 1440 for this DC who has never been an academic superstar, but they and we know that for DC area, this score is not *that* high.[/quote]
