[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]it's not that he doesn't test well. it's the fact that grades are incredibly inflated. i bet you his test score is where he is, not the grade. [/quote]

You really are putting too much weight on these tests. It tests speed and different way of thinking than required of some high school classes. LSAT is the same. My DD does very well delving deep into issues and research, good skills for school and work, but won’t show up on an standardized test. [/quote]

+1. My kid took tons of APs and got all 4s and 5s, is highly ranked and has a top notch GPA. I think those things are a much better indicator of her abilities than the SAT. Thankfully, the top tier schools she applied to predominantly recognized this and she was admitted TO at a majority of them.

Also you all need to stop with the grade inflation. Is this actually supported by Naviance?  I am guessing not. I think you are just bitter because your kid isn’t as singularly awesome as you thought. Get over it. [/quote]

Would be helpful to those considering test optional if you identified the schools.[/quote]

So a bunch of posters can denigrate my daughter, spew nonsense about the schools not being top tier or excuse her acceptances as being proof of something other thank her academic ability?  No thanks.  I (think) you mean well but I don’t want to engage in the crazy here. [/quote]
