[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not requiring SAT/ACT doesn't mean those kids who did not take the exam will be evaluated equally as the ones who took the exam. Particularly when it comes to merit aids. [/quote]

In normal times yes. But it seems so unfair under these circumstances. I mean, all of these rising seniors were registered to take that SAT on March 13.  That was literally the first day schools were closed. It isn’t like anyone saw that coming months in advance or that they did anything wrong. Nothing like this has ever happened before.[/quote]

I agree.  I think this year schools will no longer use SAT scores for merit aid, etc.  There will be too many kids who simply couldn't take the test to really use it as a criterion for anything. [/quote]

It means something. A high score is still a plus.  It’s just that not having a score isn’t necessarily a negative.

I would think admissions would also look at where your kid is applying from.  Kids in the DMV have been locked out. Not their fault. Kids in the public health disaster states have had testing available. If the choose not to take it or not to submit it, I would think a college would take note. [/quote]
