SAT Scores Are Not A Predictor of Future Success…

I just found this great article on the SAT standardized admission tests over at the Online College Blog.  Clearly, many admissions departments are failing society when they place such incredible weight and import on the SAT test. It turns out the new SAT is just as bad as the old SAT.  Please let me know what you think.

Check Back Often!

We’re hoping to be providing a whole lot more information about SAT scores in the near future. So, please come back often and read the SAT Q & A and Quick Fix Clinic Blog.

Low SAT Scores Got You Down?

Don’t let low, average or poor LSAT scores get you down.  There are many schools that want you.  Sure, elite schools might be off the table - but so what? 99% of college graduates in the United States went to non-elite schools.  Study after study has shown virtually no relationship between the college you go to and the money you will earn in the future. There are some exceptions like Harvard and Yale - but otherwise not.

You can still get a high quality education.  Check out the Online College Blog - they have posted tons of reviews on great online schools that you will probably be accepted at right away. The great thing about going to school online (or at least starting at online school) is that you can live at home and save some money, get great grades and completely find the track that you want to be on. The Online College Blog recently posted reviews on Bellevue University Online, and Argosy University Online. Check out these college reviews and let me know what you think. But remember, it’s not where you go to school but rather how hard you work. Don’t let a low or average SAT score get you down.

Bad SAT Score? Average Score? Low Score?

Don’t fear bad SAT scores. Worse things have happened.  Activities and recommendations can balance low SAT scores. It’s all important to realize that with a less than great score, admission to many of the top universities in America is still possible. Yes, for sure, unless you’re a legacy or very very wealthy - Harvard and Yale might be out - but there are still hundreds of other top notch schools that will nearly guarantee great job prospects for graduates and deliver a top notch education.  Baby Ivies, mid to smaller size liberal arts schools and underrated state universities immediately come to mind.  It will be important to do lots of research to make sure that you navigate the best possible path for you our your student.  If you need help don’t hesitate to post a comment below or join me on my ultra low cost teleseminar.
