<p>Marian,</p>
<p>Fair enough. I guess I’m looking at it through my particular lens, where 2 of my kids had above a 3.5 unweighted gpa and 30-60 hrs. of college credit upon graduation, and graduated in the top 5% of their class.</p>
<p>I suppose if SAT admission criteria would have been higher for the schools they were applying for - we certainly would have jumped through those hoops.</p>
<p>Again, I just don’t know what it proves. I have NO doubt that with special seminars, any studying at all, and retaking the test they could have improved, maybe VASTLY improved their scores. But they still would have been the same kids, performing class-work at the same level, having the same dreams and goals, I mean, you get the idea.</p>
<p>**And the other one had a terrible gpa, but was a NSMF. We had to bring that one HOME from college.</p>
