And…none of these prep schools claim that they only accept students with a certain GPA or test score or level of athletic skill. What we do hear, over and over, is that they prize diversity, passion, and genuine curiosity–none of which can be neatly quantified or assessed through testing. So as I’ve said many times before, it makes much more sense to focus on what you or your child does particularly well or what makes that child shine–and lead with that–than to assume that testing and grades are a valid way to weigh a particular applicant’s mediocrity or excellence.
