Reply to "High Academic -- SAT/ACT and Timing?"

Was at Boston College on college trip today with younger son (non-athlete). Admissions mentioned that there are 30 or 33 "need blind" schools (which they are one)..many of the High Academics. Didn't realize there were "need sensitive" schools who use willingness to pay as a factor.

As for the "new SAT", early indications from my son's HS are that scores are inflated..need a couple years to truly set the bar. Scores which kids were getting into certain schools in past are deferred or not getting admitted. Sort of like the old 1300 is the new 1400.
