[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not to hijack the thread but this test optional world has been really confusing for my bright - but not brilliant -- kid. They have a 1450 which now seems too low for a lot of schools that would have been reasonable targets and reaches a few years ago. Now they're worried that they won't be considered with such a "low" score, yet not submitting scores will read as though they bombed the SAT.[/quote]
Submit the 1450. [/quote]

Data says otherwise.  However, until institutions have to report more granularly, you are in the dark, absent access to the data from other sources.  For example, what is the percentage of recruited athletes who are TO at Williams?  If it is a large percentage, then by default the SAT range of 1500-1535-1560 is somewhat valid for a non-athlete.  The 1450 will get you rejected if you are not an athlete.  At that SAT point, since only 47 students in Williams Freshman class had below a 1500, your odds are long, really long, with a 1450.[/quote]

Disagree. Submit 1450 and up. It will look far worse not to. 1450 meets the benchmark of being bright enough, and if it's supplemented with an otherwise excellent application via letters of rec, activities, and overall presentation, it can get you in to top schools. [/quote]
