[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are on the flip side, DC has excellent grades, but his test SAT scores will not be as high in the grammar/writing portion, even with accommodations.  [b]Although he did score a 5 on his AP test last year, so that helps. [/b]  He is a rising junior, so we have one more year.  We also have to explain why he did not take a foreign language. He will need accommodations in college, so he will be revealing his issues somewhere in the application and certainly in the counselor's recommendation.

Since your DC does not receive accommodations and does not expect to in college, I would not reveal the issues in the application. Your DC is already in a magnate program and being average there is acknowledged to being above average in a regular HS.  How did your DC do on APs tests?  High AP tests scores would help in the this case. [/quote]

DD has taken six AP tests, and scored three 5s and three 4s.  However, schools don't see AP scores during the applications process - they are only provided to schools after acceptance, when a student is seeking to have them applied (as prerequisites and/or credits).

DD does receive accommodations and they are documented[/quote]

That is not true anymore.  My eldest was a senior last year and he was able to report his scores in the application process.  [/quote]
