[quote=Anonymous][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] Good transcript from top private. The waitlists are not T30 schools there was no inflated expectation. This is our youngest and we were experienced enough to have an option for worst case scenario All good. Hard to explain though [/quote]
