[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TO needs to go away. It is ridiculous that kids who are scoring in the top 95th percentile or higher are debating whether their scores are "good enough." Stop the madness. [/quote] This. The College Board just sent me a mildly threatening letter telling me there was still time for my senior to retake the SAT if we weren't satisfied with their scores. We are satisfied because we're not nuts. This is a blatant cash grab, and colleges are using it to prop up their rankings by only reporting their highest scorers. Meanwhile, my friend got into U Penn 30 years ago with a 1390. His kid just in with a 1360. It's kind of a crock, this myth that you need to get a 1580 or give up. You know what is keeping your 1580 scoring kids out of the t25? Those schools don't want their entire freshmen class to be all Comp Sci and Engineering majors, which is what you all have them studying. Make your kid not be a sheep and they'll get in. [/quote]
