[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]35 ACT helped my DS get into schools.  [/quote]
Was that this year?
35 ACT didn’t do much for mine this admission season. [/quote]

What colleges were they rejected from?[/quote]
7 ivies, duke, and northwestern.  GPA was way up there and activities also excellent. They're a crapshoot.[/quote]

All "reaches for everyone" colleges.  You realize that other 16,000 students got at 35 or 36, right?  And that is more seats than are available in those 9 colleges?  Add the 20,000 1500+ SAT kids (many overlap I know) then [b]subtract for hooks[/b], and you are talking about AT BEST, 8,000-9,000 seats at those colleges for 30,000 high test scoring kids.  The majority of them get rejected.

What colleges accepted your kid?

This is not a criticism in any way, in fact it is just trying to show the math so people know what they are up against.[/quote]

Why are we subtracting for "hooks"? Why not just accept the smartest kids?[/quote]
