At two of the schools where DC is applying only 25% of students submitted scores.
My DC's scores are within the 25th - 75th percentile range. If it was your kid, would you have them submit? |

| Definitely. Assume the kids who did not submit were below 50th and probably 25th or lower. |

People submit less as the scores submitted are "fake".
Meaning pre Test Optional a school would get 50 thousand test scores that range from around 900 to 1,600. So someone in the middle with a 1,250 test score submits. Today all the kids with 900-1,200 wont submit leaving the ones submitted range of 1,200 to 1,600 with a 1,400 average. All at once your 1,250 test score looks terrible so you dont submit. |

Really? I wouldn't submit if it's 25% on the dot. I would if closer to 50 percentile. |

Northeastern and UW-Seattle are two I know of. I would assume Northeastern because it’s taking kids without scores in ED, and UW because its applicant pool has so much overlap with the applicant pool for California state schools (which are test blind). |

| How long has the school been test optional? Many schools were test optional before the pandemic. |

Is that both ACT and SAT, or just SAT?
Many schools are that low if combined...even more if just SAT: Bates Babson Chapman Clark College of Charleston Pepperdine Sarah Lawrence Trinity College https://www.ivywise.com/blog/test-score-submit-rates/ |

Curious what you mean by this? Not normal as compared to other TO years? Or something else? |
