[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can all this be true and yet everyone keeps telling me my kid with a B average  who is in advanced math and sciences classes won’t get in anywhere for college?  [/quote]

Yes. I am puzzled too. This is just discouraging that my kid is shut out because of the skin color and income of the parents.[/quote]

But is your kid shut out? Seriously not admitted to one UCSD-caliber school in the United States? Many such schools have admissions rates over 80% and rely heavily on SAT scores. And if you’re focused on the short list of elite privates, well, UCSD was never one of those anyway. [/quote]

Shut out of top 20 and UVA, despite 1550. Luckily UIUC came through!![/quote]

Assuming you were in-state for UVA, I'm very surprised you were rejected from UVA with that SAT. That is well above the 75th percentile where fewer than half of all applicants even submit an SAT.  There must have been some deficiencies in the rest of the application?  What was GPA, rigor, AP's if not private, LOR's?[/quote]
