[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UMD has only 37% submitting SAT and 7% submitting ACT. That's quite low. I would take those score ranges with a grain of salt.[/quote]

Of course, since it's TO very few are sending tests in so automatically scores go up.[/quote]

Right so now that scores have gone up (UMD ACT 32-35) they may not want to see a 32 (as this looks low to them and doesn't help their stats), but if don't submit lose the opportunity to show them you didn't get a low score.[/quote]

Totally disagree. 32 is at their 25th percentile, which is pretty standard for where to draw the line these days. and with such a low percentage submitting it, you know you are on the higher end. Plus, it is objectively a strong score. You are taking away a strength if you don't submit.[/quote]

Thank you for that perspective. I've seen kids get rejected with SAT in the 1400s so that's why I got nervous about a 32 ACT as these are equivalent. My older kid didn't submit and got it, but had stronger ECs.[/quote]
