"The OP didn’t say she was native Vietnamese. Her language skills indicate complete fluency in the language, so I suspect she is a full American citizen born of immigrant parents perhaps. She only says herr son will be first to attend college. On rereading the first post and OPs responses, I am doubting the intention of this post. Her son’s stats are top notch and even the most clueless parent must understand how impressive the test scores are. I suspect the OP is looking more for an estimation of her son’s chances at elite colleges and if they have been compromised by an average grade, as opposed to total ruination of his future. In which case, OP might want to create a Chances thread in that forum. "
Yes, this. I always marvel at how quickly people respond to these posts with such genuine and heart-felt effort and with their best thoughts on the matter, completely failing to recognize the caricature nature of the OP’s content.
