What is the problem with my original post?
Here is another try:
If your school has posted that the median 50% SAT scores are between x and y and you know that 30 % of the class is getting extra time, how can you adjust the numbers so that they are approximately what they would be without the extra time. Then compare your student and refigure where they are in terms of their percentile for the class. This presupposes that the colleges can in some way tell who is getting extra time. WAIT- they aren't supposed to be able to do that. but I suspect they can.
Why does this make a difference? Because if you are trying to figure out where its appropriate to apply you need to adjust these numbers. You don't want your child set up for failure, yet you don't want to aim too low either. You want to be realistic.
My child was told not to apply to any ivies, even with a tip at yale, because she was not sporty enough- despite very high everything else possible. You cannot always depend on counselor to give realistic advice.[/quote]
