It’s funny that very few collegians or alumni ever ask questions like this. Only HS students and parents. D’you know why? Because as alums or students, we realize how tiny the outside world’s perception of our relative “prestige” really matters. Been there done that.

ONe other thing, once you get accepted to college? NO ONE will ask you your SAT or HS GPA ever again. Can you imagine that? Those vaunted numbers of obsessoin: just become dross.
