[quote=Anonymous][quote]Hopefully they make a definitive choice so we aren’t waiting any longer. That January announcement that the fall admissions tour mentioned just keeps getting pushed back. I’m less concerned with what some future investigation lands if it won’t impact admissions this fall. [/quote] Your question highlights the problem with test score - they're not an indication of success, just the resources to prep for them. But, I don't understand your strategy, especially given the current changing landscape. If I had a rising senior, I would do a deep dive into their targets and safeties, focusing on financials, diversity of majors and the state's budget (if public school). A school like MI can adjust by increasing full pay, OOS students, while UNC can't and relies more on state funding (just using as examples as both are reaches). I would use  each school's CDS to determine a "reasonable score," and suggest kid do some test prep, understanding it's one metric that each school values differently. Unless your kid is only planning to apply to TO schools, they'll still benefit with a score, and with 50K applicants, even with a strong score, UVA is a tough admit. [/quote]
