[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, this is a much more nuanced question than many on this board would have you believe. Many on this board resent test optional admissions, especially at “selective schools,” because they feel it disadvantages high scorers and undermines the applicant pool. You really have to look at several factors. If the school is TO, what percentage of admitted applicants submitted scores? If that number is low, you can feel confident applying TO if on the fence. Also, what does the testing distribution at your HS look like? If the school average is high, and lots of peers with higher scores will likely apply to the same school, TO might also make sense. As others have mentioned, there are also situations where you should not report a high scorers because it is below the college’s 25%. This is really something you should talk out with your counselor.[/quote]

1480 is the one and only time he took it.

I don’t know how I can find out the testing distribution from my kid’s public high school. Is that even public data?

I don’t have a private counselor so I will ask our guidance counselor but I don’t know if he will be able to help he seems so busy.

This is just as complicated as I worried it would be. Uuuggghhh. [/quote]
