Not a major user on this site. But I just need to rant for a bit.
All of you people need to think things over really quick.
Putting kids down/ telling them they’re not good enough because their ACT or SAT is below 32/2200 is just absolutely
ridiculous. I know for a fact that many schools such as HPYSM, UChicago, Brown, Duke, Columbia, etc. DO NOT weigh act/sat scores so heavily to the point where a 32 is bad. I know a person last year who got into MIT with a 30. A 30. In case you people forgot, that’s a GOOD score. The level of expectation on this site is ridiculous. None of you are admissions officers so please. Stop telling kids they don’t have chances with a 4.0 GPA and 7 AP classes.
