[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow- I went to a TT SLAC in the 90s from NCS with a similar GPA and a 1480 SAT.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“You may have more data at NCS but there are plenty of unhappy parents and students regarding college outcomes at NCS. Yes, the education is outstanding but it is hard for students not to question why they worked so hard in HS to end up at a school like Bates or Wisconsin. “

I am an NCS parent of a senior. We would be dancing on the rooftops if our DD got into Wisconsin. It was a rejection. We are looking at options much, much lower on the USNWR list. Think 75-120.[/quote]

what is your child's approx. GPA?  NCS parent here. [/quote]

GPA is 3.4. ACT is 33[/quote][/quote]
 That truly sucks. All the grade inflation at public schools and test optional is so frustrating.[/quote]

I just posted to somebody else that every top college has regional admissions people in this area and they're all very familiar with every local HS' grading practices. COVID grading and AP weighting have already been factored in to the admissions decision. It's not like Columbia's local rep says, "Hey, Carla got a 4.6 at Whitman and that must have been in a vacuum." So you can stop using it as an excuse now.

And miss me with the whining about test optional. We used expensive test prep too, but nobody can deny it's unfair to kids who can't afford expensive test prep.[/quote]
