[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a dream. Based on having 3 kids go through this in the past 5 years, and seeing where they and their friends ended up.[/quote] My kid is a senior at a big 3. Yes. It's a dream. This kid can get into q good school, but think Colby or WashU. Not Ivies or Bowdoin. And not UVA either because it really doesn't give much of a grade break for big 3. Might be different if a great lax player or a legacy. And full pay will help at some schools. But some of the schools listed here are a pipe dream. [/quote] UVA makes clear that it cares more about grades than SAT scores, and I know from personal experience that they mean it. One of my kids (in state) got in off the wait list with a 1260 on the SAT but with very high grades. Many, many of her classmates were denied admission with much higher SATs but lower grades. And she had no hook whatsoever.[/quote] 1260?[/quote]
