[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]i would be careful following college vine guidance PP - given the likely direction of the pending affirmative action case currently at SCOTUS level most elite colleges already taking action to avoid scrutiny on any biases going forward - the pendulum may wind up swinging waaay to far the other in the other direction unfortunately [/quote]

He's not applying to any elite schools. All of the schools have acceptance rates around 70%.[/quote]

Then apply test optional and move on.

If DC can't get into a college with a 70% acceptance rate - test score or not - that implies other issues that might be more pressing.[/quote]

How many times does someone have to point out that schools do NOT look at an  applicant's GPA in isolation, but in the context of a high school's grade distribution data.  It's where your kid lies in that distribution range that really matters for the large majority of (but not all) public and private high schools.[/quote]
