I couldn’t agree with calmom more. My d performed similarly to her daughter on the math portion of the SAt.On cr & writing she was in line with scores it is presumed the ivy she attends wants.However 6 other kids from her school applied to the same ivy and most had a higher composite score on the SAT yet they were NOT admitted. Let me tell you there were some very angry parents and some unkind remarks made to my d because she was not deemed as “their conception” of the best candidate for this ivy. Be careful don’t just assume every ivy is looking at some formula .My d has said after spending almost a semester at her school that she can see her ivy takes a certain type of student. They are friendly and unassuming and very hard working.It really was a pleasant surprise to her how very helpful students are to each other as are the professors.
