[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wild to have 40% of enrolled class to have done TO and if the case, the test scores will just keep going higher as only the 1500s will want to submit [/quote]

Girl in my daughter’s school got into Cornell TO last year. Couldn’t crack 1300. [/quote]

I see this happen often.  Colleges like TO policy because it allows them admit less academic students. [/quote]

We were told by an admissions counselor that test scores are indicative of success during the first year of college,e but grades are more indicative of success overall in college. Thoughts?[/quote]

That kind of makes sense to me for many students.  First year classes tend to be larger and weeder/test heavy.  Depending on your major, the classes may get smaller and less test intensive as you progress.  Kids who may not test well may be very hard workers or be stronger in essays/ projects so they tend to do better as the emphasis on tests decreases.[/quote]
