[quote=Anonymous]I watched the College Board's one-hour admissions talk various college admissions folks.  They said on the one hand that the tests are completely optional at their colleges this year, and that they will be evaluating all students equally without the scores.  On the other hand, they said if you take the test and make a high-enough score that it would be a favorable score in a normal year, submit it.

That says to me that you should still try to take the test and get a high score if you can.  If you can't due to cancellations, or your score isn't that high, you have a silver lining year where you can submit an application without them.  But if you have the high score, it may make a difference for the schools that receive 30,000 apps for 1,400 seats, which is many of them...you're more of a sure thing capability-wise so they'll feel more comfortable giving you a yes.  And awarding merit aid.

So for our family, we're trying to get 2 test takes in, one of them being the 8/29 one DD just took.  Having those scores in hand gives you more options.  [/quote]
