MODERATOR’S NOTE:
Closing thread. The OP’s question has been answered and now the conversation is being steered elsewhere.
@Lindagaf Ask your questions in a new discussion instead of hijacking this one. However, I think that you will find that the answers to your questions will fall into 2 categories:
• It is what it is, so don’t waste time thinking about it.
• Colleges will not be transparent in how much weight they give to a particular HS.
