[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually find it hard to believe that the people making the admissions decisions do not differentiate between single sitting, when it was taken, etc., when making admissions decisions UNLESS, the SAT/ACT is not a big differentiator at all but merely a threshold to get beyond to compare the rest of the application. It is, in fact, more impressive to get a high score with one sitting. If that is true, however, it is not that surprising that students with great but not amazing scores get in over kids with near perfect scores that don't have a unique voice in their essays and recommendations. If it took some 4 tries and superscoring to get a 1560, why is that more impressive than a single sitting 1490?[/quote] Because fundamentally, it doesn't matter. [b]These schools aren't looking for the most genius of the geniuses. [/b] That's not their admissions algorithm and never has been. [/quote]
