[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get the need to promote Higher ed for the underpriviliged. Truly get that. But why at a HYPS? This kid should land where his scores are the norm. [b]Wouldn't he be at the bottom of his class here? How would he cope[/b]?[/quote] Not necessarily--I have taught many high SAT students that ended up at the bottom of the class because they didn't finish their work, poor organizational skills, laziness, partying... Yes, peers influence and affect college experience and performance, but understanding the course content at a competitive school is possible with an SAT score in the 85 percentile. You do not need to score in the 99th percentile to do well in most classes (or else the professor grades on a curve!). [/quote]
