[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is very similar to my DD’s experience. Top 5% of class in rigorous DMV public charter. 11 APs with mostly 5s (including Calc AB, Bio, Lit, Lang, Apush, stats, etc.). Never got the SAT above 1490 super score. Was very disappointed despite that score being 97/98th percentile (parents were not). Ended up not being an issue for her for many reasons. First, she had narrowed her search to SLACs primarily so she never got swept up in the T20 or bust mindset of most of her academic peers. Also, after visiting a wide range of SLACs, she was a little put off by the prestige choices (had a particularly strong reaction to Swat). Ended up falling in love with one of the “13s”, applied and got in early, and is thriving there now. Probably not the outcome you personally are looking for, but it couldn’t have gone better for our family. [/quote] Omg you’re describing my DD to the tee- also at a 13![/quote]
