[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, I wasn’t clear.  He is looking at schools where a 34 is mid range (33-35).  So a 34 is right in the middle.  So that would be a situation where score should not hurt (but probably also not help).  Am I thinking about that correctly?

Thanks.[/quote]

Oh I get it now. Yes, a 34 shouldn't hurt his chances anywhere. Those top schools (top 30 or so) admission is less stats driven so unless he brings other factors/hooks, good stats are really nonevermind kinda thing... [/quote]

Thank you.  That is what I hoping I guess- that I 34 would be worth submitting to get the app in the pile to be considered, so to speak.[/quote]

[b]Have a close relative who has worked in admissions at two select schools - nearly verbatim: "35/36 goes in one pile and 34 goes in another." It's a great score, but it doesn't get in that pile.[/b][/quote]

[b]This is absolute total and unadulterated BS.  Name the school[/b]s.[/quote]

Well, UVA.  34 is the 50th percentile for kids who showed up last fall.  35 is the 75th percentile, so 25 percent of the attending class had something higher.[/quote]
