Well …and they are higher than her PSAT scores indicated( however- she had accomodations on SAT- 50% more time- which she needed)- still I don’t think they illustrate- how hard she works in class-or how bright she is.

She has gone from entering freshman year - two years behind grade level in math, not having adequate preparation from her middle school program in math and other subjects, to entering senior year- with an A in chemistry and who knows what in her US history AP class. Probably an A in grade level math.

She knows how hard she works. She knows that she is at least as bright & involved as the * very* bright and involved girls that are her friends, but she has difficulty showing that on the SAT.
Her cumulative scores are 1480, ( lowest is math)

However- despite that the schools she is interested in attending are in Southern CA ( and we can only pay our EFC), I am not freaking out, just want to give perspective to those parents who are freaking out because their kids are 0.03% from being #1 in their city.

:D

Have a good weekend!
