[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ sounds like Penn State would be right up his alley.  [/quote]

It was during a Penn State tour. :oops:

They accepted him anyway. :oops:

PSU stats

Test Scores -- 25th / 75th Percentile
SAT Critical Reading: 530 / 630
SAT Math: 560 / 670
SAT Writing: 540 / 640

55% admit rate

would assume this to be higher for OOS and receiving merit aid

definitely not an "average child"

When will people stop throwing out numbers as if they're gospel? There are so many other factors that come into play.

An art portfolio could be one. Secondly, I didn't say they offered him merit aid. I said that many state unis did. I did not say Penn State was one.[/quote]

Furthermore, what's with the Bah Humbugs whose sole purpose in life (and on this board) is to be disagreeable??

A person says WHOO My Superkid got into an Ivy with a 5.0! The Miserables come out with "Yeah, but your kid's not happy...your kid is stressed....your kid will have a nervous breakdown in college from being so 'perfect' and being challenged...blah blah blah.)

A person says My kid is average and I love him for it. And The Miserables actually pull up stats for one of the schools that accepted your child with "Your kid's not average...blah blah blah". LOL!! Unbelievable!

This board has truly helped me to understand why so many kids struggle with life. Some of the parents would on here would make me rebel and start cutting too!

Lighten up!

Let a mom bask in the glory of her ridiculously silly, non-ivy bound, unbothered son.[/quote]
