[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: you didn't mention where she is in high school. Stats like from one of the area highly rigorous privates show that she can in fact hack the work of probably any school. Stats like that from a local public would indidace that she may not. 1380 is a strong score, it's the grades that are the issue. [/quote]

No, 1380 is a weak score at W-A-S.    Below the bottom 25% at all three.   Williams 25% = 1420, Amherst 25% = 1420, Swat 25% = 1390, [/quote]

Possibly dumb question.  Let me understand.  Based on this 25% of the students scored lower.  That suggests that the OP's kid could hack the work.[/quote]

The 25% at Williams and Amherst (1420) indicates that maybe 10-15% of students scored 1380 or lower like OP.  Much of the bottom decile is likely filed with recruited athletes who will take easier majors.   So perhaps OP could hack the work and graduate in an easier major ... but OP's SAT score is definitely a weak one for ED legacy admissions.  [/quote]
