[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anecdote:  my kid was waffling over submitting a 1500 score to schools, including CMU (for engineering).  I convinced him to do it, as I feel like trying to get into a STEM program as an unhooked UMC kid looks shady.  He thought for sure he wouldn't get in, but did - and this was not even for ED.  (FYI -- he turned CMU down for GT, another school he thought his score was too low for).[/quote]

Well...1500 is a good score.  It would be foolish not to submit.[/quote]

We did not submit that to Vanderbilt last year.[/quote]

Seriously? You went TO with a 1500? Were you admitted TO? That is insane. [/quote]

The conventional wisdom would be not to submit that score given more than 50% of freshman admitted at Vanderbilt were TO....and its exactly the 25% (not even a bit higher). Vanderbilt skews high - and most people who apply TO there have a 1400-1500.....
 
I agree. 
Don't submit that IF you have very very strong grades and course rigor.[/quote]
