[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]35 ACT did not appear to help my kid Currently on six waitlists Only acceptances are at 2 safeties Kid will be fine and is well prepared for college. [/quote] But here's the issue with testing.. the 35 or the 1550 or whatever is just ONE score on ONE test. It does not trump 4 years of a high school track record which will be complete with grades, class rank, athletic endeavors, leadership, community service, jobs etc. Why should it? I am sorry that your kid is having a tough season but I really do think that people with high scores get an inflated sense of where they can get in, and that only sets them up for disappointment.[/quote]
