[QUOTE="Deleted member 2897, post: 590734"] Some people pay thousands of dollars for SAT testing classes and spend hours aa week for months taking previous SAT tests over and over. Some schools (we have one of the top public high schools in the nation near us that does this) don't even publish class rankings. In some places finishing in the top 10% of your class is nothing to brag about. In others its an amazing accomplishment. Admissions isn't as cut and dry as we think it is. I go back to my 13 year old son again. We're not going to have him ruin his high school life taking 27 AP classes and SAT classes all in the hopes of getting into Tech, which might still not happen. I suspect he will graduate with a 5.0, a 1400 SAT, have about 6-8 AP classes under his belt, be in the top 5% of his class, and not get in. And that's okay if it happens. There are tons of other great schools in this country and when Tech has gotten as difficult to get into as it is, we all can't say in unison our kid deserves to get in. [/QUOTE]
