[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For MIT, she is in the middle 50 for math, but below the middle 50 for reading.  That is probably going to be well under  the realistic range for MIT.

DD had a similar SAT composite and did not get in to any top 25 schools.

Same here. My DC was in the same range but everything over 700. W/L at Vandy. Not in range for Duke or MIT. Definitely need to bring the CR up to be in range for those schools unless she's got something spectacular going for her. Suburban kids need to be at 2250 for those schools. [/quote]

So your DC had every measure, CR, M, and W, all over 700, and they were W/L at Vandy?  What does a child need to get in?[/quote]

PP here with the kid W/L at Vandy. Here's the stats for this years RD admissions from Vandy's website. My DC's scores topped out at 750 so at/below the bottom quartile.  Maybe the OPs DDs 800 will stand out more, but I'm afraid the 670 will be an application killer in this pool. It's important to note that this is RD - I think the stats are broader for ED.
