after day 1 of college
Omit the name of your high school / GPA, but be sure to include any major awards (i.e. National Merit Scholar, National AP scholar, valedictorian etc.) and your SAT scores.
If you went to a well-known school but no named award, would you also omit it? And what if your SAT scores are unspeakably low? lol
The only schools worth mentioning are exter or andover. If you had an unspeakably low SAT score, then don't mention your high school. You obviously got nothing but a name from it.
Ouch! In my defence, I got accepted into HYP with such low SAT scores. Just am not a great SAT taker. My GPA was fine. But I will omit it altogether just to be safe.
