[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They don't care.  Not one iota. They want to know that you can do reasonably well and then they evaluate applicants on other things.  they are crafting a class, not a cohort of testing-taking robots.

I also have 2 Ivy league kids who both got on unhooked.

Visiting the one right now and this kid was saying at dinner last how many kids they meet with ACT scores of 33, 34, etc.  I don't recall how this came up but the kid was saying  "the obsession with scores is such a DC thing."

It’s a chicken-and-egg problem, though. With all their talk of “context,” elite colleges keep saying that though there are different rules for other kids, they won’t admit students from high-performing DMV high schools without those high scores. [/quote]

Not really. People who are focused on this don’t realize that it doesn’t make you memorable. Scores and grades are not memorable. It has to be something niche - an interest that your kid has, a passion they explored to the expense of everything else, that will make them memorable. And they’ll be able to write about it well.

Find a passion.[/quote]
