[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Submit. Shows you’re academically qualified.[/quote]

Or it shows that,  despite expensive tutors,coaches, and counselors, this kid isn't anywhere the median score.

Try Elon instead. [/quote]

Exactly.  [/quote]

PP why so nasty? 1500 is a great score. If it's not high enough for Duke's top 25 percent then maybe the kid doesn't submit. But how do you know the Op's kid had expensive tutors?  Stop being so bitter.
Good luck OP my unhooked kid with a 34 ACT got into two top 15 schools [/quote]

It's not a great score,  at least not for Duke.  It's significantly below average. Can you explain for us why you think this score will help this applicant get in?  She would have been better off putting her time and energy into coursework or ECs, rather than a test that is notorious for reflecting time and money spent on prep rather reflecting  "aptitude " for college work

OP, listen to your counselor and give your kid at least a chance at getting in. [/quote]

PP, what makes you think OP’s kid doesn’t have highly impressive coursework and EC’s? Maybe the 1500 is the “weakest” part of her app.[/quote]
