My child has a 4.0 UW/ 4.8 W 13 APs. They have taken all the classes recommended by Wes. His ECs are average. My dilemma is regarding submitting SAT scores. They are 760 EWR/710 math or a 1470 total. I’ve read way too many threads discussing the discrepancy between the CDS and the class profile on Wes’s website and am still confused. The class profile seems to suggest we should only submit if he has a 1480 total. I know his math would be considered quite low (admitted profile shows 750/780/790for 25th/50th/75th and enrolled(?)median of 750), but his English is on the higher side of the range (admitted profile shows 730/750/770 for 25th/50th/75th and enrolled (?)median of 740). Any thoughts on how to handle? Do they pay attention to the individual sections of the score or mostly just the overall score?
TBH, I think the aptitude tests have gone the way of the alumni interview: applicants may take comfort in performing well, but they are rarely the decisive element in the applicant’s file. Wesleyan is on record as saying that it gives more weight to the gpa. Don’t let the jitters turn a 1400 SAT into a “bad” score. It’s not.
