This is not true!


For CS (and engineering) that’s absolutely true. They will be at a disadvantage for most other majors.

Share more info.. unweighted/weighted GPA; Rigor of courses, Number of APs, ECs. Top CS schools are all targeted by TJ kids so hard to get in. UMD may give enough money to make the cost about the same as UVA. Apply ED to UVA and he may have a good shot of getting in. Folks here can get more specific if you share all the details.

1600 by itself is not a differentiator coming out of TJ.

A 1600 SAT gives an edge up at any school that accepts scores. MIT / CMU / UIUC / GT / Cornell still a crap-shoot for CS even with that score. Purdue and UMD would be some good targets with merit scholarship possibilities.

What's the GPA? That matters a lot, probably more than the test score.

Public schools that value scores.
