[quote=Anonymous]I would have had our DS do SAT prep. He got a fine score (1380) without prepping and wasn’t aiming for top schools—that just wasn’t what he wanted. But his tight group of school friends and he applied to a bunch of the same schools. All were accepted, including DS, but their merit aid exactly tracks their submitted SAT scores. (His friend group is remarkably similar otherwise in grades and ECs.) So if his friend who prepped and ended up at 1450 got 18k at a school, DS got 14k and his other friend who scored lower got 12k. We are at an income level where we aren’t eligible for need-based aid but cost matters a lot. So the $ we could have spent on SAT peer would have been an investment that paid off. [/quote]
