[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even a 36 (with 4-36s subscores) didnt do much good for DC. Asian though.[/quote]

Can you define "didn't do much good"?  Where did your child apply and where did they get in?  I'm assuming you didn't have your child apply to just HYP schools, which are always going to be hard to predict, so what other schools were on the list?  Did the grades match the 36's?[/quote]

He got rejected by Ivy league and few other top tier schools that practice holistic admission process. He was accepted with a lot of merit $ to schools that use more stats driven admission process. He took a full ride to one of those schools. His other stats match his test score. GPA 3.95/4.75 (MCPS scale), 4s/5s on 13 APs, NMF/NMScholar, Presidential Scholar Candidate, AP National Scholar...etc.

Bottom line? A very good student but one of many Asian kids with similar stats. I guess Adcom didin't see what they were looking for in his app. He is very happy where he is though so it worked out okay.   [/quote]

Which school was that?[/quote]
