[quote=Anonymous]So, the 1500 is good. Good enough for anywhere. 90 or A- is also good. But a lot will depend on the rigor of the school. APs? Calculus BC? IB? It makes a big difference. Unless you are in the middle of nowhere, the "good" colleges are going to be aware of your school. So they'll know. Rigor of classes is a big deal. How does she compare with her classmates? Where did they get in last year? That'll give you a baseline. I cannot stress essays enough. Knock that out of the park. Also the teacher recs. And for the ECs, make sure there is demonstrable passion and leadership by senior year. Everything is still possible. She'll have to know what kind of school she wants.[/quote]
