[quote=Anonymous]Continuing on: I have many nieces & nephews who live out of state--they are all residents of Georgia. Three of them recently applied to college including to the University of Georgia. Their ACT scores were 34, 35, & 36. One also took the SAT 1450. The one with the 34 ACT had a straight A average and was accepted to the University of Georgia--but not invited to the Honors College, the Honors College at the University of Alabama with a merit scholarship award, and to Vanderbilt University. The one who scored 36 on the ACT had median grades and was not admitted to the University of Georgia. The one with a 35 ACT and average grades was deferred/waitlisted, then admitted to the University of Georgia, but not to the Honors College, and was given a conditional acceptance for sophomore year to Georgia Tech (both parents are alums).

My point is that while you are justifiably proud of your daughters numbers, they are not enough to get admitted to super elite private National Universities.

I agree with other posters that membership in Mensa is fairly worthless & may subject her to ridicule. I would not place this membership on any college application.

Again, it would be helpful to know her intended area of study and any career goal as well as the entire list of schools suggested by her college counselor.
