[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with a previous poster that this system is broken. The gamesmanship just cannot be what schools intended with test-optional. My son also has a 1380, which is why I clicked on this, and he is submitting it everywhere. It’s a good score and he worked hard for it. [b]A school that would reject him KNOWING that many test-optional students didn’t score nearly as well is really not a school worth going to.[/b][/quote] ?? I readily agree that test optional gamesmanship is an unfortuate development and can cause kids (and parents) too much stress. But there are several legitimmate reasons that a child might be rejected apart from submitting an SAT score of 1380. The OP's child, for example, has a GPA that is below the 25th percentile for both UVA and W&M. [/quote]
