<p>just a note, there are lots of students with “top” stats and decent ecs who don’t get STRIDE/Zollman. Those are the tippy top of the applicant pool, students who could go to an Ivy or top LAC with some luck. </p>
<p>I’m a bit nervous about this. A 4.0 doesn’t really tell me anything about an applicant. A 4.0 with a 1600(3 sections ) SAT score or a 3.8 with a 35 ACT score tells me a hell of a lot more about the applicant. </p>
<p>I’m from a super poor family, so I understand SAT score correlates with income. I am understanding of this plight. However, rarely does someone who is actually gifted tank the test.</p>
