[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You just have to take everything you read here with a grain of salt. That thread about where your kid is going has like 6 kids going to Stanford. Doubt it. We have a lot of teenagers here and a lot of people who just like to troll. [/quote]

It's just weird all the kids seem to have SAT scores above 1500. It'd be nice to see where kids who are good students but not top go.[/quote]

I think that’s because schools like George Mason, UMBC or local Jesuit colleges suit the needs of most kids with SATs in the 1100 to 1400 range very well and have plenty of capacity. As long as those kids are happy with the normal options and can pay for the options, they don’t have to think about this a lot.

The kids with scores under 1400 who have college application stress are probably fairly unusual kids who have test scores that fail to reflect their abilities, have an unusually high level of ambition, have Tiger parents, need a lot of merit aid or need something the regular college options don’t offer.

Meanwhile, for kids with scores over 1400 in places like Maryland and Virginia, most of the normal college options are now highly selective schools with capacity problems and complicated, unpredictable admissions processes. They need a lot more advice than the kids aiming for the less selective schools need. [/quote]

I'll bite.  Tell us what "local jesuit college" allows for under 1500.  Citation, please. [/quote]

Loyola of Maryland - Students that get into Loyola Maryland have an average SAT score between 1100-1267 or an average ACT score of 24-29.[/quote]

Admitted with $25K/yr merit with a 3.2 TO but 1170. Nice school. [/quote]
