May's session of Ask America's College Counselor brought out students and parents from across the country asking questions on topics like SAT/ACT scores, AP classes, class rank, and much more!
If you missed this month's Facebook Live Q&A, keep reading for a list of some of the questions I answered and to watch the full video.
SOME QUESTIONS YOU'LL SEE ME ANSWER:
- What are your thoughts on the University of Minnesota compared to Indiana University?
- My daughter is very interested in attending the same college her older sister graduated from this year. Should she mention her alum sister somewhere in the application?
- Does applying Early Decision give you an advantage for admission?
- Should a student submit their ACT score to their top choice if it is right at the 50th percentile or only if it’s over?
- Is there an advantage to taking AP classes?
- What’s the difference between the SAT and ACT?
- In the past, you have recommended only submitting AP scores of 5s, not 4s. Can you elaborate on this suggestion?
- Do Ivy League universities ever admit students who don’t submit test scores?
- How important is a student's class rank?
- My son got a 35 on the ACT and a 1420 on the SAT. Which score should he report?
- I really enjoyed your book Soundbite. Do you have any additional thoughts or changes since you published it?
