[quote=Anonymous][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]

Did DC get in? RD or ED? Public or Private?[/quote]

WL at Vandy RD with TO from private HS (accepted off WL in late April).
Did not submit scores to Rice RD (accepted), Michigan (accepted) and an Ivy RD (accepted and attending). 
Submitted scores to other RD schools, incl WashU (WL) and Emory (WL); rejected from 2 other ivies in RD; deferred then rejected from 1 private T10 in ED (submitted scores to all 3 of these). 
Trying not to give too much identifying info but high GPA/very high rigor, non-stem major.

Each school where scores were submitted in RD was decided by CCO's suggestions and our private counselor; decision for each college made separately after looking at each school's CDS and reviewing TO success stats from our private's admitted students over last 2 years (ask for CCO to give you recommendations on whether to submit based on this data if you are at a private), and after the results from ED.

Is your kid white/Asian?  Is their school mostly white/Asian?[/quote]
