[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Think like an admissions person. What would make you take a kid with no scores, when you have a deluge of similar applicants who did submit and can also raise your institution’s average score? [b]The non-submitter has to have something rare or hard to find that the school needs. [/b][/quote]

Or…you can take a TO candidate who is a great fit for your institution and have it make no impact on your average score in either direction.[/quote]
That's what pp stated. [/quote]

No. The PP is saying
AO: no test. Musta been an 1100. Deny

Vs what other is saying 
AO. I like this kid. Impressive. And I don’t have to worry about some test score or how it impacts our data.  Accept [/quote]

No, neither is that I’m saying. I’m saying, for a kid who is an oboist from Montana, scores are irrelevant because that kid isn’t competing against other oboists from Montana with high scores. But if a kid offers the same things other kids offer (great kid, community service, full pay), and those other kids ALSO offer high scores, that’s an additional inducement to take them because it helps the college profile. If your scores aren’t high, don’t submit and find another way to distinguish yourself.[/quote]
