[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Think like an admissions person. What would make you take a kid with no scores, when you have a deluge of similar applicants who did submit and can also raise your institution’s average score? [b]The non-submitter has to have something rare or hard to find that the school needs. [/b][/quote]

Or…you can take a TO candidate who is a great fit for your institution and have it make no impact on your average score in either direction.[/quote]
That's what pp stated. [/quote]

No. The PP is saying
AO: no test. Musta been an 1100. Deny

Vs what other is saying 
AO. I like this kid. Impressive. And I don’t have to worry about some test score or how it impacts our data.  Accept [/quote]

AO- We reject 95% of applicants, prove to me you shouldn't be one of them. 
This is much harder to do without a test score.[/quote]

It’s this.

I don’t understand why people don’t get this, but for those of you still confused, you need to read this over and over[/quote]

If you are actually distinguished and different from a generic suburban “high achiever” you don’t need the test score and that’s the student they are actually looking for.

It’s not the grades, it’s not the SAT, it’s being able to demonstrate you are interesting and accomplished without those things.

If you say “that’s impossible” you’re not the guy they are looking for.
