Thats a big mystery for a 10th grader. Current HS seniors dont need to submit scores at all, as it is test optional, but that may or may not be a long term thing.What type of grades does a HS student typically need for admission? I ask because my oldest who is in 10th grade is interested.
Her average GPA is around 3.5. How important are standardized testing scores?
It really depends on what school (ie. Newhouse, Falk, Whitman etc.) she wants to apply to.What type of grades does a HS student typically need for admission? I ask because my oldest who is in 10th grade is interested.

So, College of Arts and Sciences.Not sure which school but the major would be creative writing.
Thank you.So, College of Arts and Sciences.
See, that’s creative.So, College of Arts and Sciences.
SAT/ACT scores are accepted, but not required for applying to SU until at least the Spring of 2024.IDK about SU, but schools are devaluing/eliminating SATs/ACTs etc...
The upcoming SCOTUS case will likely eliminate race/gender based admissions preferences, especially at state colleges.I have no knowledge about SU. However, admissions requirements have been getting more lax as schools want to make it able to have a diverse incoming student population.
IDK about SU, but schools are devaluing/eliminating SATs/ACTs etc... I will let you do your own Google search on why that is (it's a political mess and a touchy subject that I don't want to start anything on).
As a faculty member though, who admissions admits is a wonder to all of us. They have their targets for demographics, grades, etc... For example, the department may say that they can support N incoming students. Admissions always admits N + 10-30% and just says deal with it.
In NYS, the entire college admissions scandal has had huge impact on schools. This has essentially forced schools to spend MUCH more on their advertising/marketing budgets.The upcoming SCOTUS case will likely eliminate race/gender based admissions preferences, especially at state colleges.

This is very good information to know, thank you for this insight.My son just found out he got in today. He had a 3.69 gpa. They were not mandating SAT or ACT so he did not even take them.
So he was measured on just his GPA and his essay.

Nice my daughter is looking, is a year away. What school if you don't mind?
Sorry man. Tough to see our kids disappointed.Well, my son's dream ended today. We finally got the finaid package. I looked at it briefly and saw 42k and thought cool, we can make that work. Then my son pointed out that was PER semester. His total cost of attendance per year is 84k. We are by no means poor but we are not wealthy either. Asking 30k for tuition alone per semester is freaking insane!
His heart is broken. He made backup plans for state schools but they were just that, back ups. I feel so bad for the kid.
Sorry man. Tough to see our kids disappointed.
But that’s insane.
I’ve heard all these stories about there being so much grant and scholarship money available at the private schools, but I’ve not seen it. Except friends who are separated but not divorced, in order to access police union benefits, that chose not to include the wife’s salary on the FAFSA. She makes way more than her drunk loser ex, but they only pay 20k a year to send their kid to RPI.Thanks.
He has put all his gear away for now, lol. He will eventually get over it. With the number being so large it at least made it super clear there was no way forward and removed all the what if's.

And yeah, I realize that likely doesn’t help you.
