[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This Test Optional universe is so confusing for everyone. I really wish colleges would get it together and fricken' decide. Does the SAT/ACT matter or not? Choose, you sadistic idiots.

In the meantime, families are reading tea leaves. 1500 to Duke. What to do?

I would submit - definitely if you are URM. But also as white or Asian. It puts you in in the 95th percentile. Clearly the student is capable of handling the workload. The score though is not going to help, but it crosses the threshold. Not submitting - reading tea leaves here - would come with a bigger penalty. It's human nature to assume the applicant is rolling with a 1200 or whatever when they don't submit test scores. And 1500 is good enough. No one is going to be rejected for it

The California publics are going to do their thing. But I sense that generally T20 colleges want test scores to be mandatory. Since there's such a strong correlation with performance, they feel more confident handing out an admittance when they have scores above the baseline. [b]Suspect in ten years it will be mandatory again[/b][/quote]

10 years? OK Nostradamus.

Both my kids would have graduated from college by then, much less apply to one - TO or not.[/quote]
