[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Application Nation advice: depends on school, major and transcript/rigor profile

Sara H generally says if more than 40% of last class admitted TO, then if you are a majority candidate, only submit if over the 50%.

But you are STEM, analysis might be more complicated: you may have to submit though bc those candidates held to higher standard (given how much competition there is), esp if the SAT score discrepancy shows an extraordinarily strong math score.[/quote]

But even this guidance isn't really that helpful...suppose you are a majority candidate, applying to a school where about 40% of admitted students applied to, and not a STEM major but maybe public health...and your score is in the 25th-50th range.  This is my kids profile, by the way. High rigor, 4.0uw/4.4 w, urban public school, top 5%.

What does her guidance suggest doing?[/quote]

What’s her score?[/quote]

I think this is a clear case of don’t submit. Why would a school want sub- 50th percentile scores dragging down their average? They would rather have the kid TO.[/quote]
