My kid's combined score on the math and verbal was 1310, which is quite good. 1450 is gooder still. Pcadette's 2010 is the three parts combined (including the written essay). again that puts her in the 94th percentile. Combine that with her high GPA, class rank etc., and we're hoping she can get into a top school like NYU (where I went) or Columbia. NYU didn't used to get mentioned along with Ivy League schools. Times have changed. Now it's a big time A list school (with tuition to match).
