[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Need to stop banking on high test scores as the path to top schools especially if the grades don't match. A lot of them are holistic and prioritize grades and class rigor. My kid got into most of the schools they applied to (IU Kelley, OSU, UMD, Pitt, Penn State, VT, etc.) with a high GPA and great ECs while not submitting test scores for most of them. I also think that not going to a crazy competitive high school helped along with having a good balanced and realistic list consisting of primarily targets, a couple reaches, and a few safeties. [/quote] These schools are not top schools.[/quote] The OP’s son has okay grades (with high rigor and a high SAT score). He couldn’t get into VT on this list, and I doubt he could get into UMD. Most of the low targets/high safeties for normal high stats kids are reaches for him, unfortunately.[/quote]
