I have no real understanding of how college admissions works in general, only the general info I have gathered for guiding my own children as their GC.
On another thread, a high school student attending Stuyvesant insisted that bc she attended there that she didn't need to take the SAT again with a CR+M of 1390 (670/720) and 3.6 unweighted GPA with hopes for "Reaches: U Chicago, Carnegie Mellon, Northwestern, lehigh, UC Berkeley."
I am wondering if her perception of admissions is accurate. Is a 1390 for a Stuyvesant student so innately competitive for UChicago, CMU, Northwestern, and Berkeley that a student could absolutely dismiss taking the test a 2nd time?
(Just wondering if my perceptions have become completely skewed bc my kids have to have high scores for merit $$. A 1390 would automatically mean my kids would need to retest. The OP of that discussion stated she needed merit $$ as well, but dismissed any suggestion that her stats were less than extremely competitive.)
Can anyone offer Guidance Counselor 101 insight?
