[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this is for current Juniors?  my kid has no interest in Harvard, but this seems really really late to make this call for this class[/quote]

why is this late? the SAT is a test of the most basic English and Math skills. If you need months and months of prep on topics you should have already mastered, you probably have bigger problems than the application deadlines next fall. [/quote]

mostly bcs may and June seats are full[/quote]

Well presumably any kid applying to Harvard has already registered or taken the SAT/ACT.

They just didn’t submit their scores. So now they’ll have to. [/quote]
Will they have already taken it twice, as many juniors have already who had such plans, thereby giving them a third or fourth sitting to look forward to in June and August? Harvard could have said no superscores for class of 2025 if they insisted on renouncing their established policy so late.[/quote]

[b]Everyone is in the same boat.[/b]  The kids who have taken it 2-3 times already are on the ball and will get the advantage (and that's not a bad thing).

“Everyone is in the same boat” whether they took the SATs twice or six times? Interesting boat.

And it’s “not a bad thing” for kids to already be on pace to take the SAT 5X? And these are the kids who are “on the ball” and should be rewarded?
Oh, my.[/quote]

"Same boat" means everyone just found out Harvard is not TO.  I firmly believe that 85-90% of people who actually have a good chance at a lottery ticket for Harvard have already taken the SAT or are schedule for one in May/June.  75%+ of admitted students already submit their scores.  I suspect those who dont' have taken the SAT/ACT and are below 50% so don't submit.
