<p>don’t look now, but being val and sal doesnt give you money anyway!!! Unless it is the rare school that gives a few bucks, or your district does something that mine does not. But basically, it has meant very little in the college ap process.</p>
<p>And as far as the school profile goes, GC’s write them, and they change them to meet the needs of the student/school being applied to when they feel the urge. So those are only slightly useful for ANYTHING. I remember my SHOCK when I saw a copy of our schools profile- the “stretched” statistics were pretty obvious to me, but might not be to an adcom. Including college bound senior statistic, the colleges kids were accepted to, and avg SAT scores. All were, well…“enhanced”.</p>
