[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid received score of 2180 for SAT at age 11 (CTY Program), had perfect middle school GPA and also received 99/100 on the TJ exam and was waitlisted. It's not just this kid who did not get accepted with great numbers etc. [/quote] This kid has better stats than the kid in the article.[/quote] This kid probably also had a lot more resources available to him. Do you know how expensive CTY classes are. The article is about how kids from low SES families are affected by grades only being 35 percent of the admissions process. Most lower SES kids aren't taking the SAT at 11 because it costs money to take it' [/quote]
