[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can’t said athlete apply test-optional like a non-athlete could?

Also, if you are concerned before the kid has even taken a test that he won’t be able to score a 900, then there is something going on that should be addressed before he heads off for college - learning style, necessary academic accommodations, etc. [/quote]

I’m not a big fan of how standardized testing is run but someone who can’t manage a 4 digit SAT score should seriously reconsider going to college or take remedial education classes[/quote]

I would agree with this macro-aggression.[/quote]

College is where college football is played, though.[/quote]

Paying that much money to play football?  What is the point?  Is it really going to manifest into a career?
Low tier "colleges" sure know how to milk these mostly poor families.

The parents believe the student can qualify for scholarship money, but only if he scores above a certain amount on the SAT.

My DC got a 1320 on the SAT with pretty good grades & was a first generation college student, and the absolute most they got (that resulted in the lowest COA among schools where DC received scholarships) was $40,000/year from a $68,000/year school (where you cannot live off-campus under school policy). Which is a lot, but nowhere near a full scholarship.

The schools that offer merit for a 900 (yes, they exist) are hanging on by a thread. [/quote]
