YZamyatin:

The ranges are misleading. You are really only interested in the ranges for kids in similar demographics, and data that is specific enough to be useful is rarely available, especially from private schools.



Definitely. Thus, the comment “Without any other details on his background, it’s hard to say 100%…”

Ranges do at least give some guidance…if the range was 34-35 for the average, the student might want to get a higher score, but I agree with you & @Afg2014 on other factors…I especially like @Afg2014’s point about how many students applying to the college from their school. I think that has a large impact on their acceptance.
