[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is a rising junior, and their GPA (for now) is 3.95/4.83. Their SAT score is likely to be around 1350, maybe 1400 as a stretch. How much can the high GPA offset the SAT score when it comes to college admission? They will apply to a variety of schools, a couple top ranked but mostly in the top 50-75. [/quote] For most in the 50-75 range, 1350 is a good score. Have your kid do 1-1 tutoring with a private tutor for 4-10 hours. If it will move the needle you will find out in less than 10 hours. A good tutor will do a baseline test. Then 1-4 hours of review going over specific areas of concern. Then kid will do some practices with those, then retest. Then repeat. Key is to take the practice test at 8am---try to simulate real test conditions (I know my kid would have done better with a 2pm test or even a 10pm test). But 1350-1400 will be good for many schools in that range. [/quote]
