@Ynotgo, I think deciding what scores to send is going to be a big headache for a lot of people, including those whose scores are at a lower tier than your S.
At this point I would not know whether to send ACT, SAT or both for my D. But we’re waiting for June scores and she’ll probably take both again in the fall. Problem may be solved then.
I think one of the big issues is whether schools are going to use the CB concordance for new SAT (not an issue for your S, luckily). A few of my D’s schools have posted which direction they’re going, but most have not.
In your case, I don’t think it matters too much since all the scores are stellar and he did max out math twice. But it’s not like they’re going to be sitting there wondering why he didn’t send in another test that he may or may not have taken if you don’t send both.
@carachel2, a permanent eye-roll button! Yes, I bet EVERYONE needs that for at least one family member.
My family is no problem. My Dad was a bit disappointed D wasn’t applying to his alma mater (he’s a retired electrical engineer, which is what she’s going into and he’s thrilled about that). She would have, but they don’t have the specific program she wants.
It’s a little worse on the in-law side. H’s family is a total liberal arts non-STEM family. My H (engineer) is the black sheep and he and I have always felt there was a lack of respect for what he does as being “important”. D’s first choice college is Smith, but most of the others are tech schools as well as schools they haven’t really heard of. H’s Dad comes from a rather high-falutin’ family of lawyers, politicians, college professors, artists etc. So he ONLY ever talks about Smith and obviously loves the idea of her attending there. While it is her first choice, it’s definitely a gamble (especially financially) and I wish he’d show a little interest in her other choices. But all in all not too bad I guess. At least he’s not insisting she apply to Harvard or that we take out loans!
@MotherOfDragons and @MichiganGeorgia, oh, I bet my D can top either of yours in the bad handwriting department! At one of her first IEP meetings, her case manager said that teachers had requested ALL work be turned in typed so that they could actually read it (not including math of course – that would be pretty challenging). She brings in a Chromebook for any in-class writing. Thank goodness she got a handwriting accommodation for the SAT essay and was able to use a computer.
