PSU stats

Test Scores -- 25th / 75th Percentile
SAT Critical Reading: 530 / 630
SAT Math: 560 / 670
SAT Writing: 540 / 640

55% admit rate

would assume this to be higher for OOS and receiving merit aid

definitely not an "average child"

When will people stop throwing out numbers as if they're gospel? There are so many other factors that come into play.

An art portfolio could be one. Secondly, I didn't say they offered him merit aid. I said that many state unis did. I did not say Penn State was one.[/quote]

He was still accepted into PSU OOS.  [url]http://news.psu.edu/story/286949/2013/09/10/rankings/penn-state-rises-2014-us-news-best-colleges-rankings[/url] - PSU is now a top 10 public university.  An average child would have an SAT of around 1500 and attend a CC or a college with open enrollment.  Your topic should have been  "Am I the Only One Thrilled to Have a Child in the 90-95th percentile?"[/quote]
