[quote=Anonymous]I was a member for a few months with my older child. It was helpful to understand the college process these days but I found some of her advice formulaic. For example she says not to submit any AP scores under 5 for top schools. My son had one 4 (in his intended major no less!) and I thought I would be a red flag not to submit(that they would think it was a 2 or 3). He submitted and got into a HPYS school. He asked to review his application during his freshman year (he was curious) and for “tests” he got a checkmark and for “academics” they marked him as a 1.5 (scored in a range of 1-5 with 1 best best). Also none of the reviewers comments were about his test scores. Ultimately I think she does a good job at volume but her advice is based on her experience which may not always be applicable for a particular kid. [/quote]
