In 2019, the average SAT score was 1050. Any score above that would be above average and perfectly acceptable for many colleges. A score of 1350 would put you in the top 10% of test takers and help make your application competitive at more selective schools.
这里还有好多info missing, 但会在counselor review 中有所反映:
1. WGPA
2. Class Rank
3. NMSF or NMF
4. EC and community involvement/school citizenship
5. Other Rewards if any
6. Captain of school debate team or not
另外,是公校还是私校, 是否是feeder scholl, 推荐信老师眼中的娃啥样,等等。。。
那位妈没说,咱也不能乱猜。
但很重要的一条, 要是全国第三的debater, 没当过school debate team 的captain, 没带领着school debate team 拿过啥 rewards, 那个全国第三还不如不要。
这娃想ED PENN/NW, 和 counselor 的建议可能就差了10万8千里了。。。
会不会和写推荐信的老师, 也差个10万8千里呢?
take it or leave it。。。娃想试就试,以后想起来可以说:I did try my best?
民科民科哈
玉米棒子是不如大枣好吃, 但咋也比吃地瓜干强啊 。。。

而且孩子想学文科,那如果数学分数低,反而会让学校觉得其实SAT分数并不低。。。
而且1490也不能算太差,认识两个1490的一个中藤一个小藤,都是写作好。
曾经很八卦地看了一下前两年排名很高的学生的去向,去州大的不少。所以不是T5直通车。也或许人家没申请T5。
认识的娃,有debate很牛,成绩不太好,最后被所有藤拒,去了州大。
可是那个娃的GPA和SAT也不能算不好,在boundary上,所以就纠结了。
小白男,某全国辩论赛第一,去了芝大。
小印男,某全国辩论赛第二,去年第一,去了T0。
都不是CS。
School debate captain完全不能比!
前一届的一个小中男,也是个总得奖的孩子,去了duke。
