[quote=Anonymous]None of these schools have ever "required" a good SAT score although the majority have very good scores. A few kids with relatively low for the school SATs have always gotten into these schools because they are otherwise impressive kids. Also folks act like Test optional means there is no impact to test scores in admissions - you know that's pretty false if you know the outcomes of kids that have gone through this recently! A choice to go TO provides a data point about the applicant, and the schools are using this data point. I think people look at this the wrong way - it's something like "If I make an assumption that all the kids who go test optional have an SAT score at the 25th percentile of scores for their GPA and school, can I make a good admissions decision, or would i need more data?"
