[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are looking for ways to reject you quickly so they can cut 28,000 applicants into 1,800 admits. If your scores aren't top notch, and you send them, then you are giving them the definite information they need to reject you. If your scores aren't top notch, and you [b]don't [/b]send them, then you have [b]not [/b]given them definite information, whatever they might suspect. I'd lean towards not sending them if you're not above midpoint for the previous year's 25/75.[/quote] I think this is last year's advice and what colleges are trying to stop by saying they are test aware. They are trying to balance having enough of a percentage of people with test scores submitted also. Because the issue is that with test optional the scores drift up and more people self-exclude themselves and thus the scores drift up further. Colleges that say they are test aware are signalling they are stopping this trend.[/quote]
