[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your private gave poor advice to be one and fine with a 33. He definitely could have easily raised it at least a point and many of those schools are 34-36. My son got a 34 end of sophomore year (36r, 36v) and our HS noted that many of those top schools now see higher scores. He retook it without doing much and scored a 35 composite. He should have a minimum 34 at those top tier schools.[/quote] This is bad advice. And a year or two out of date. Ignore. Make sure there is an ED2 app to the likes of Kenyon, Wake, or Middlebury (helps with Midd if open to starting in Feb). Can apply RD to Colgate and then change it to ED2 very late, if there’s another ED2 rejection (this is akin to ED3 at Colgate). Add a couple RDs such as Conn College.[/quote] A 33 isn’t getting into an Ivy, Hopkins or Duke, and BC is dicey. Without seeing the course load I’d pick some more true safeties it’s tough out there.[/quote]
