[quote=Anonymous]My kid went to a high performing MCPS W school with high grades (4.7 GPA) and lower-than-expected scores (1350) so went test optional. Did not get into UMD and feared not getting into other targets based on advice here. Applied to 6 other schools and was admitted with significant merit money to all but the one she chose - an OOS public with <30% acceptance rate - much lower than UMD’s (outside of MCPS). All of her schools had 20-30% acceptance rates according to Naviance. Did not ED anywhere because DH resented the whole premise and wouldn’t allow it. Despite comments on DCUM that she was out of her league at the selective college she chose due to her test optional admission and LDs, she’s doing great academically and in the top 20% of her STEM classes (according to grade curves).[/quote]
