[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good for them. Give them the opportunity. Test optional isn't an option for DC because the unweighted GPA isn't there. I don't know if the grades are inflated or not, but they're not inflated enough for DC to be test optional.[/quote] This hints at a problem, that not all students who are academically capable will have the GPA to go test optional, yet will hear that they don't need to test. In particular, I'm referring to males from disadvantaged groups who may not have come from an educational culture and thus don't have blemish-free transcripts or whose transcripts lack rigor due to poor advising and such, the proverbial diamond in the rough. Sure, most colleges are still test optional and will accept the scores, but some students are being advised not to bother, when they very much should.[/quote]
