[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is in college now but curious if anyone else’s stats were similar and where they applied and got
in?

Top Private School in our area (K-12), went all 13 yrs. Relatively weak student for our school’s standards with a LD and Inattentive ADHD, 3.02/4.0, never got past algebra 2 but did take AP Gov and Honors French. Very weak Math and Science student in general but decent writer. 27 ACT and 1200 SAT, never a varsity athlete but played sports every year, lots of church involvement and a member of the school’s honor society for service work.

She did really well in admissions - got in [b]University of Tennessee, Auburn, Ole Miss, Alabama, Wofford, College of Charleston and Deferred admission at Clemson.[/b] She ended up at her top choice and has been very happy, and with better grades then HS and a liberal arts major.

Was curious if this was a typical acceptance return? Asking because she had similar results to her friends with slighty higher grades and scores. I have a junior with similar stats right now so curious if this was a typical experience [/quote]

The bolded is what the bottom 1/3 of the private school get accepted to, and the Clemson-community college start program, down to the very bottom of the class who have 3.2 weighted/1100 range SAT. 1380 is the median at ours. 
No offense but those are average schools for an average-overall kid who is understandably below average at a good private high school. Nothing remarkable there. [/quote]
