[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I don't think you mentioned it but are you aware for applications to Ivies (and white and interested in the sciences) that the SAT II tests and xlnt scores are critical?  My DC wanted Princeton and had everything needed but his SAT II's (math I, Math II, and chemistry) were only 750.  You need 800s or close to it in SAT II exams.  We didn't figure that out in time for the Princeton Harvard, etc. applications.  Princeton used to require two SAT II tests.  Now it says "Strongly recommended" but the reason they dropped the requirement was to make it easier for poorer students to apply.  But if you are otherwise a normal applicant, then you better have top SAT II results.[/quote]

If you are rationalizing your kid's p'ton rejection as "he only got 750 on his sat2" you are either dumb or listening to a person who is dumb. This is NOT why your kid didn't get in, but I see paid consultants rattle off this BS all the time to lay the "blame" at the kid's feet rather than themselves.

PLEASE STOP SPREADING BAD INFO re Ivy admissions. There are ZERO kids that P'ton "wanted" where ANYONE in committee said "we love him, he's going to change the world, he has everything, but the SAT 2 is a problem, at 750. [/quote]
