[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Your kidding right. EVERY university has large groups of that caliber of kid? Really? Your kidding yourself. My kid is in and done at her top choice, and I didn’t post specifically about her. But it IS about high stats focused kids and what they are looking for in a college. I’m sorry your kid ain’t one of them. But a high achieving focused child aiming for HYP [b]ain’t ever gonna find a satisfactory group of peers at Monmouth University.[/b] Your N of a few proves absolutely nothing and your assertion is delusional.[/quote]

Define “satisfactory”. If you mean large in number, you may be right. If you mean intelligent, motivated, capable of high caliber work, then you’re misinformed. They may be harder to find but those kids are absolutely at Monmouth, and many other schools you’d probably consider “inferior” for a “high stats” student.  I can also tell you that they know the difference between “your” and “you’re, they proofread their work for errors including autocorrections, and they don’t use “ain’t” when trying to make an effective argument.

And yet the argument was effective enough to draw you in to respond. Satisfactory = numerous, several, teeming with options, more than just a few,  surrounded by peers of the same drive and caliber.  The Data set for Monmouth indicates that only 2percent of the 1200 kids score 700-800 in math and reading portions of sat. So that’s like what 44 kids? Out of 1200???  The majority of the students- over 50 percent, scored between 500-600. That’s a stark difference in student profile dontcha think? So make your point, a HYP child should seriously look at Monmouth. Why? So they can hang out with the same 40 people? And that would be enriching .....why exactly?[/quote]
