[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The College board needs to release raw scores for the AP tests. That way MIT and Cornell can see whether your 5 on Physics EM was a 98% or a 61%.

We throw away a lot of information that could be useful for everyone in the process. [/quote]

You are assuming that MIT and Cornell care. Newsflash, they don’t.[/quote]

I suspect MIT would care, given that they were among the first to go back to test required. There is a huge difference in competence between someone who got 98% of questions right vs. someone who got 61% right.[/quote]

But they don’t and they have no problem telling you that they don’t. They tell you exactly what they want if you read Applying Sideways.[/quote]You're kidding right? That blog post just says

"I don’t mean to discourage anything from pursuing incredible science and technology research on their own. If you want to do it, DO IT. But don’t do it because you think it’s your ticket to MIT. And that applies to everything you do – classes, SATs, extracurriculars.

There is no golden ticket.

So breathe."[/quote]

Thing is there are golden tickets to MIT.

MOP camp is a ticket[/quote]
