Our public school college advisor has told kid not to submit. I’m struggling with that because kid’s rank 27% and GPA seems a little lower than they might like. I do not want them to assume a lower SAT

I lean towards submitting the score because in context of the HS it is high. You could leave the decision to your S. I don’t have full information on his app of course, but would think that score is additive to the overall app. I agree with others that being male will be a bit of an advantage per the CDS. If he is not applying for FA, that would be another advantage.

Just to be clear, and I expect you know, Bates is reachy for your S. Hopefully he has a balanced list of schools including at least one affordable highly likely/safety. Let us know if you want any additional school suggestions. Good luck to him.
