[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC was at an ID camp at WashU and was told by the coach not to submit a lower than 1530 SAT. They want the kids with super high SAT’s. [/quote]

Yes, my DC was being actively recruited by Wash U and pre-screened by admissions and the message was that DC needed to get above 1500 (score was 1480, grades were very high, 11 APs with 4s and 5s).[/quote]

In the tours, WUSTL AO openly tell the room not to submit below 1500/34. They don't hide it. This was in the information session for everyone (not athletes).[/quote]

WashU is pretty interesting when it comes to recruited athletes and SAT scores. Since they are letting recruits in via their sport it appears that they don't want scores which could impact the schools numbers. As I mentioned in an earlier post the Coach recruiting my kid said that a 780M wasn't "interesting" but because she also had a 780V they wanted the score submitted because that was "interesting". Not hard to see what they are doing.[/quote]

I don't get it. Don't most schools who are TO only want kids to submit them if they are very high so that it skews their 25%/50%/75% test scores for admitted students? What is it you see WashU doing that is any different from what is known: only submit your test score to a TO school if it really helps.[/quote]

So they’d rather admit a 1250 TO than someone with a solid 1450?[/quote]

The reality is that they are indifferent between the two.[/quote]

Until they’ve spent enough on remedial classes I guess?[/quote]
