[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some schools only want test scores that allow them to increase their average test score profile. It's not that they wouldn't accept your 1450 or that it isn't good enough (it clearly is), they just don't want to be forced to report it if their rival schools aren't. Stupid games, all caused by silly rankings that don't mean anything.[/quote] This is the comment right here. It used to be that the point of scores were to show that a kid could do college-level work. Now scores are a marketing strategy for the schools. If only 1500+ kids submit, a school can claim their average test score is 1500+. Stupid games indeed. It’s like we are in some bizarro-world in which the point of the kid’s application is to help the schools game the rankings. We’ve lost the plot. [/quote]
