[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your son/daughter has gone test optional, what was the outcome? Highly achieving public. 10/11APs, 3.94 unweighted, good EC, 4/5 on AP exams. White male. Thank you![/quote]

I can't really answer your question and TO outcomes. My DC is the opposite of yours.. mediocre grades (sub 3.4 unweighted) but with good rigor (will end with 9 APs) and above average SAT (1500). Applied T40 and below, pretty much into every school he applied to that too for CS, Engineering or Business. I've been reading a lot on College Confidential and some Facebook groups and often come across parents wondering why their high stats, but TO kid didn't get in. TO outcomes likely depend on the type of college (Private vs Public) and your high school profile.

If I were in your shoes, I'd make sure your son prepares well and takes the SAT and/or ACT. He seems like he can do well.[/quote]

I hope you dc works a little harder in college. The world is filled with kids who slack and are smart.....sounds like OPs child is a really terrific student. Colleges want this.[/quote]

I hope so too.. Colleges seem to want someone like my kid too, based on our results. No earth-shaking ECs either, just one (non-academic) since middle school. No national awards, etc. Not URM.[/quote]
