<p>sneakers1234 - S2 took 1 SATII sophomore year, but did not score very high, and his regular SATs were OK, but he really did well on his ACTs (32) which I know he sent instead of the SATs. He also had a 4.2 or something weighted GPA. I did not see the essays he wrote for any of the schools he applied to, so I cannot comment on those. At Maryland, I believe they do look at the GPA, essays, letters of rec, and ECs for scholarships.</p>
<p>jsmom - S1 is in South at PSU and I know he said by the end of the 1st sememter, there were a couple singles that should at least have been doubles from kids dropping out during the semester. But they do try to move the kids from supplementals to the open beds during the year.</p>
