Those are admitted students. You don’t know how many high scoring kids were rejected

Your DC passed a pre-read with those stats?


Do they need to pass a pre-read? They just want to play sports.

You would have been admitted RD. Only 147 freshman bothered to report an SAT score. Of those, fewer than 20 scored above a 1540. This is out of 520 freshman.

Two kids from DCs private were waitlisted last year and neither got in. A very strong ED2 applicant from his school was rejected outright in the same cycle. Better safe than sorry.

And you will be justified in doing so. FAFSA and CSS have spots to input that kind of pertinent info as well.


Yes, we explained the special situation at the of the CSS profile. I hope it’ll work out.
