daughter has high hopes - chance her?

<p>She’s a sophmore, correct? This is a great start. What does she do outside of the class room? Friend of mine does admission interviews for MIT. He says about 90% of kids he sees have the test scores and grades to get in (like your daughter), so admissions depends on what else their resume looks like. Sports, music, meaningful community work, debate, drama, school leadership, etc. Also depends on where you’re from and track record of your D’s high school. Where have the last years’ top 10 students gotten into? </p>

<p>Your D’s scores and grades will get her in the eligible pile, but those schools have about 10 kids in that pile for every one they have room for.</p>

<p>Good luck to her, she’s off to a great start.</p>
