I figured the more talent the kid has the less the score needs to be. I guess I had Columbia in the group with Harvard, Yale, and Princeton.
I have a more generic question. My kid just started high school but he is already narrowing his choices down as he wants big city/high academics. So we picked out 12 or so Ivy/NESCAC/Centennial type schools and filled out the questionaires over the summer (yeah, I helped him). I told him not to get jacked up if he got a bunch of emails thanking him for his interest and camp invites and stuff because they would be after my money and I figured there would at least be a computer generated thanks for filling it out. Instead he got 0 responses. I know they have a different recruiting schedule but I thought they would at least acknowledge that he filled them out. Do they just not have any interest in a 2017 yet?
