[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]4.0W 1490, 11 APs, AP Scholar by junior year, lots of academic awards and leadership ECs: It was taken into account, but DC did not get into the schools you list or any very small schools. The SLACs accept so few student and so many of them are athletes that it is really a difficult sell if you don't have the top grades and no hook. You would have to ED to have any shot at all. Give a lot of love to your safeties and throw in some bigger schools just in case.[/quote]

Do you mean uw (unweighted 4.0)? If you mean weighted then I can see why he didn’t get in to those selective LACs.[/quote]

And would have needed to crack over 1500.[/quote]

Not according to college counselors -- they only look for 700 on each segment, so DC only took it once. It was the GPA, not the score, based on pre- and and post- denial query with the AD staff. CC was told ED would have made a difference, but none were the dream school for this kid.[/quote]

That was not our experience. DC was over 700 on each, well over on verbal, and was still told he should get the score up to be competitive for the more selective schools.[/quote]
