[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not Sidwell, but know a kid with a 4.0 u/w GPA in most rigorous classes (no APs offered at school) 36 across the board ACT, 5 800 SAT subject tests, NMSF, Presidential Scholar nominee, published research, varsity captain, outstanding ECs...and deferred at the school getting a lot of coverage here. Nicest kid, very socially engaged. Three other kids admitted - also great kids, though none were legacy nor with these highest stats. Even the school was shocked.[/quote]

Not this year, though, rt?[/quote]

This year. Kid has an EA to a state flagship, now waiting on RD.[/quote]

When did they take the subject tests?[/quote]

ah, now you trying to catch me out. you could take up to 3 in a single day - think the kid took 3 at end of 9th and two more in junior - maybe one in fall/winter sophomore. Mix of math, science, humanities. Not my kid - know this from my own DC who is good friends/study partner and took one of the subject tests with the kid and the kid's mom. IDK the exact dates only my DC giving me updates, "So and so got another 800."

as you can see from the kid's stats, pretty driven. there were a subset of kids at their school who went crazy on subject tests, especially as no APs offered at their school, and had tutors if the school curriculum had gaps. [/quote]
