[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Just want to thank participants on this thread, because as a recent transplant to this country, I have no idea what colleges are looking for and how my children measure up.[/quote] Try the college confidential website for much better data. And be aware that colleges aren't just looking at GPA and SATs in the US, compared to most other countries where it's all about the scores. US colleges care about extra curriculars, URM status, sports, legacy, location (e.g. North Dakota vs Virginia students), VIP status, male/female etc etc. Also your kid is competing against their own high school classmates often, especially at those colleges that assess all applicants from one high school as a group.
