[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Interesting in what sense? There is literally nothing here that isn't discussed on this forum on a daily basis. [/quote] Yet the DCUM crowd ( my UMC suburban FCPS kid with the 1500 SAT and 4.0 GPA is awesome!) still chases the fool's gold. I guess it's like playing the lottery.[/quote] Yes but those 2 numbers are not a student's academic record. What classes did they take? What other academic achievements did they accomplish? The students accessing these schools on their academic records have more that just high how's and test scores.[/quote] Yes. Admissions sort out the two questions in your post, however there are many parents who think those academic data points are golden tickets to T20 colleges and that their kids are uniquely qualified because of them. Unrealistic expectations. [/quote]
