[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC attends a top 5 school that is a reach for anybody. In addition, DC was at about the lower 1/4 of SATs accepted by this school. DC is doing great, in terms of grades, friends and confidence. Like 11:29, this university (it maybe the same one) offers a lot in the way of support, including a summer bridge program for entering freshman they think may need extra help.[/quote] Even the kids at the 25th % for these types of schools are really bright. The range of scores for these schools doesn't really dip down into "not smart". I wonder if it might be a bigger issue for the "good but not great" schools where there really might be a significant difference between the capabilities of the kids at the low end vs. the kids at the top.[/quote] Yes, the 25th percentile of SATs is at about 2100 for the very top schools. Not dumb at all.[/quote]
