[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really sucks for us if they go back to test required.

DC SAT score 1580, applied to college last year.  So many colleges were TO.  DC got rejected to T15.  I do wonder if TO hurt DC.

DC#2 is a sophomore, not as high achieving and will probably have an SAT score around 1300 mark.  TO would be great for this DC.

I know life is unfair, but this really stinks for my kids.[/quote]

There will still be plenty of schools that are TO in 2 years.  Some have gone test blind and do not plan to change---most of those were moving to test blind well before covid hit.

[b]Interestingly, why would you want your "DC#2 not as high achieving" to be at a T25 school? [/b] If their SAT is 1300 and as you state they are not as high achieving, they don't seem like the ideal candidate for a T25.  Wouldn't they actually be better off at a school that is a much better fit for them?  Most non-high achievers will sink at schools that are filled with "high achievers".  I have a "high achiever" who is not a striver and I'm actually glad they didn't get into a T20 school, as I think the 30-40 ranked school they are at is a much better environment for them[/quote]

This!  Previous poster who gave the example of these two kids, can you come back and give us your reasoning?  Why do you want your 1300/not achiever in a top university filled with high achievers?
