[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How have they done in college? I’m a little nervous that if DD gets in, she may struggle more there academically. High school grades, resume etc are good but it has taken her a lot of work to get there. I don’t know if she can sustain that, in an even more competitive environment. I wonder if it’s better not to go to the “best” college one gets into - big fish small pond etc.

On the other hand, I hear a lot about grade inflation so maybe I should not worry about this. [/quote]

What is her SAT score?  If she has 1550+ I wouldn't worry about it too much.

[b]I am not saying kids don't have a high test score necessarily wouldn't do well.

I am saying if she has a high score, the predictive power is high in general.  [/quote]

This is plain wrong!

Of course there is a direct correlation between the test scores and the college performance.  There is no need to sugar coat it.  Every test required college has evidence after evidence of this.  It’s nice to experiment a few years of test optional.  Until they realize they are getting kids who need remedial math and can’t read a book!  [/quote]
