<p>Yep, my younger son is in that position too. B-'s in Latin and B’s in English bring down his GPA though he’s got quite a few A’s as well. His PSAT was 206 and I imagine his SAT scores will be similar. There are very, very few data points. Basically I’m going to assume that all the colleges for which his odd look good SAT-wise are reaches because of the grades. He’s got some unusual activities and interests and is likely to write a really good essay, that I hope will make up for the grades, but I’m not counting on it. In the meantime we’re also looking at the many schools where B students are plentiful. There are some nice small publics, medium size privates and schools out of our draw area (south or midwest) where I think his chances would be improved.</p>
<p>Our school also doesn’t post scattergrams when there are too few points, but they do post the average in the college compare section even when only one point makes up the average! I don’t really care if people can figure out which point my kid is on a chart, but I realize others feel differently.</p>
