Reply to "Pre-reads and offers"

Great advice and knowledge.

I'd add that a pre-read is only as reliable as the underlying information. So, having all testing done (and the requisite score reached) is important (assuming the school needs testing). Also, no academic slowdown - especially for kids who were on the academic borderline.

Thus, a pre-read for a junior who hasn't taken and/or received an adequate score is not as reliable. (We did our pre-reads back in the day subject scores were required for a bunch of schools, but S hadn't taken the tests. The school "extrapolated" (i.e., invented) scores and told him he needed certain threshold scores on those tests. So, how accurate was the pre-read? We didn't bother to learn.
