Williams must be the dream school.

Otherwise it's not the best strategy.  Williams is test optional and puts a lot more weight on GPA than test score.[/quote]

Test-optional does not really apply to white or Asian students from affluent zip codes, however. They’ll assume poor test scores if you don’t submit. TO gives them flexibility with athletes and FGLI applicants, allowing them to build the class they want.[/quote]

Point taken yes for unhooked a good test score must be provided.

Strategically, the inconsistency between gpa and test score doesn't work best for OP at Williams.  Of course if Williams is the dream school then go ahead.  Scoring at 1500 vs 1600 does not move the needle at Williams.

Here is the thing.  That 1600 score may work better at other schools that are test required and value a high score.

Dartmouth comes to mind.[/quote]

Why would 1500-1600 not move the needle at all in Dartmouth? If the GPA is such where the trajectory is up (PP said lower in grade 9 only) the high SAT score should be validating of his upward GPA trajectory.

Everyone on here is so negative.[/quote]
