| ACT is definitely a good option too. I think all students should take both once. However since his Math SAT is (I believe) in the 99th percentile, I think it couldn't hurt to try to get the other two sections up into that range. It appears that he is an excellent student and with a few practice tests could improve. When you look at the score report, it shows the range of scores around your child's scores. My understanding is that this range is what the colleges consider. A 770 probably puts you son in the top range for Math. But I don't think the other two do.
He definitely needs to take the SAT subject tests for Math II and a science. I think Stanford does not require specific subject tests, but some schools do so he needs to check that. June is a good time to do subject tests.
By the way, a nephew of a grad I know and cousin of a current student was just accepted to Stanford. He has a very unique zip code though. |
