[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What it the conventional wisdom about the importance of the SAT this year?

I've heard theories all over the map. Some say your kid is lucky if they got to take the test and have a not-bombing-the-test score.  Others say, schools don't care about the SAT at all this year.  Others yet say, only kids with terrific scores will send (and therefore an application without scores will appear to be a low score by default).

In years past, with my DS, he and his friends took multiple tests to try to improve scores.  This year my DD took it once (did ok, not great) and won't have a chance to retake.

Completely confusing to know what to do.[/quote]

If you submit, it will be considered at most places.  If you don't, it won't.  Almost like the difference between kids that have an AP score vs others that don't.   Most of the colleges ask you if you want scores to be considered and if you do and provide, they will be.[/quote]

Isn't there some risk in not submitting? Could risk suggesting that the scores are bad?  Even our counselor is saying that not one is entirely clear b/c schools are being a bit dodgy about this issue. [/quote]
