[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It always surprises people when they see how (relatively) low SATs are and try to rationalize it.

The reality is very successful people had mid SAT scores and that’s something people have to come to terms with.

You can get into a competitive school TO these days. I see people doing it all the time. My own child has a high SAT score and is going to a school where she could have gone TO. In the end, it doesn’t matter as much as people think. [/quote]

This 100%. And I will add that it doesn't hurt to be among the smarter people in the room. My kid went to a competitive T20 before TO was a thing and I can tell you while he was one of the smartest in his private HS, he had a rude awakening once in college.

And yet others go off to T20 or T10/ivy after being tops at private or public and are still among the smartest few in every room. It is all relative. For most, their top-in HS kids are not one of the top-top kids who will be among the best at even the best schools, they are more likely to be in the big sea in the middle 50%. The trick is to understand where your kid really is and if they will thrive being average or even a slight underdog if that ends up being the case. [/quote]
