Timely Advice for Veteran College Counselor in SF Bay Area re: Applying to REACHES

<p>Does 100 points really matter? I cannot imagine a 100 point separation makes the difference between a student making it and struggling. My kid had a 110 point difference bewtween his first and second SAT, dropping on the latter test. Obviously, that 100 points means nothing as far as his ability to get work done in college. If it did, then we would be reading about kids with high SAT’s and okay GPA’s getting into schools ahead of the ones with okay SAT’s and high GPA’s- and we all know that it’s the GPA that counts the most or schools would change their systems. I wish it were the high SAT’s that got kids in as it would benefit my child in the admissions game!</p>
