[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]The college AOs already know, and most rank over one and done's over the applicants who need repeat administrations to Frankenstein their score.[/quote]

Nah you don't get any brownie points for taking the SAT only once compared to someone who took it six times, sorry.[/quote]

+100 They just want the highest score possible for their average. The schools really don’t care how many times you took it. One exception- Georgetown.[/quote]

If you think “holistic review” just boils down to the highest GPA and the highest standardized test scores they can submit to USNWR, allowing for hooks, why don’t they slash funding for the admissions process and just run a query for those two data points and drop the pretense that essays matter, that ECs matter, etc.?

For my $$$, there’s a significant difference between a one-and-done composite 1600/36 and a 1600/36 that’s been cobbled together across either multiple administrations or the super scoring process. Hard to believe that schools can justify “do-overs” on the standardized test side, but then look at the GPA side as any kind of rigid indicator of preparedness.[/quote]

What is the significance difference? How does that play out in acceptances? Evidence?[/quote]
