			<title>SATs:  When Scores Aren't Enough</title>

			<description><![CDATA[So glad to read about a remarkable performance on his SATs. Props for such an unusual achievement! Still, the question remains, are scores and even top grades enough? Maybe, maybe not. This brilliant young man will find a much wider open sesame to his resume and eventual acceptance to the institution of higher learning of his choice if it includes involvement in student government, e.g., senior class and/or student body president, model legislature (having sponsored legislation of relevance to the state). In addition, sports, volunteer community service (tutoring inner city students, especially), among other things. His admissions officer will be looking for those extras in addition to grades and SATs. A number of my classmates, as I remember it, even spent their ninth grade in private schools in Switzerland, Institut Le Rosey being one of them. Some high achievers of color I've met have declined to do studies in England, Oxford, bearing the name Cecil Rhodes (see Wiki).]]></description>
