<p>I agree with you Exie. Perhaps you could clarify something for me. Would it be safe to assume that in college admissions SAT scores vary with importance from candidate to candidate. Obviously, a student couldn’t get a B average at Andover without being extremely capable and a low-ish SAT would point to test anxiety. But on the other hand, a public school kid with a 98 average and barely 500 on each section of the SAT would look much worse, eh? I give this example because it’s not that far-fetched in our public school. The grade inflation and lack of rigor is really that bad. Wouldn’t the SAT be more important for a kid coming from a completely unknown po-dunk high than from a known quanitity? I mean, at the top schools, they really need to make sure that a students is prepared to handle the courseload.</p>
<p>I had always heard that the interview wasn’t so important for college. Is this false?</p>
