[quote=Anonymous]I’m not trying to be a jerk, but there are a lot of kids at Sidwell with SAT scores in that range.  In a Sidwell context, which is how he/she will be evaluated, the 1570 is not that much of a differentiator.  Sidwell kids applying to T10 schools will have high SAT/ACT scores and typically be submitting many AP scores (including BC calculus) with 5s.  Add classmates’ legacy status to this, if your kid is unhooked like mine was, and it’s a tough battle.  If OP is a NMSF that tends to count for something extra because it’s viewed as a purer measurement given that it’s just taken once and for many kids it’s the first go at an SAT-like test, and not the product of over the top tutoring and multiple tries.  I am trying to be brutally honest with you.  My unhooked kid who attended Sidwell is at a T10 Ivy and had &gt;3.95, highest rigor, and higher SAT than OP, all 5s on APs, NMSF and still got deferred in the early round, but eventually in.  Go in assuming ED/EA to T10 will not be successful but probably worth a try. Be prepared for what comes after that.[/quote]
