[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks for the helpful USC info. Curious why you suggested bypassing the SATs?  [/quote]

The reason I would have bypassed sending my kids SAT's in is that his 31 ACT corresponds to about a 2100 in the SAT's. He only took them one time each- he had a hard time the end of Junior year emotionally, and even getting him to take them that one time was a struggle (depression and anxiety, breakup with a girlfriend of 3 years, yadda yadda yadda) and then by the time the next SAT rolled around (end of Sept early Oct) all the info of test scores and GPA had already been sent in with the early admission application. If I had just sent in the ACT they would not have had the SAT to compare it to. I was VERY happy with the package SC gave, but I wonder if it would have been higher if they only had the ACT and not the SAT to compare it to.

The Oct 15th application is NOT binding. It's similar to the U MD priority deadline, where the majority of kids are taken from the first batch. There is a second deadline (maybe mid December?) and that group of kids finds out in late March I think. [/quote]
