Depends on the school. Both my kids schools stack. (both Northeast schools). There are a lot of small privates in the NE (think MAAC and NEC conferences) where the coaches really count on a kid qualifying for academic and or financial aid. There are minimum requirements you have to meet. It used to be a 3.5 GPA or 1270 SAT (ACT equiv). Don't know if there's still a waiver in place for exceptions to that. There was during COVID. With several kids in college at once that will affect your FAFSA as well.

Thanks, Fafsa did away with the multiple kids in college rule, so now everyone pays everything essentially. The numbers are scary.

Many schools are now SAT optional. The GPA requirement I assume becomes more important in that situation.
