[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1 1/2 pages through this thread and not a single mention of test scores. Just GPA. Or rank, which is derivative of GPA. A little nod to rigor, which can be very subjective, too. But nothing about test scores.

How embarrassing. What a flawed system, regardless the type of class a college is trying to build through admissions.[/quote]

Everybody’s got a 34; 35 or 36. That really does not make a difference to admissions officers. Hate to break it to you.[/quote]

That’s not accurate. And who cares about 34 or 35 if we’re writing off 3.8 and 3.9 GPAs?

Less than 2,500 per year with a composite 1600 or 36 in their first and only administration. That’s your 4.0 unweighted equivalent.[/quote]

My daughter has a friend who scored 36 in one sitting and was rejected from Princeton, Middlebury, Williams, and Wesleyan and waitlisted at Syracuse last spring.  Excellent grades and rigor at a top 5 boarding school in Mass. That made me lose my faith in test scores mattering 😂[/quote]

If all those schools reached the same decision - it’s not an accident [/quote]
