[quote=Anonymous][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.

Interestingly, why would you want your "DC#2 not as high achieving" to be at a T25 school?  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]

NP here. But one of the many ironies is that PP’s lower achieving kid would be fine. There are very few Cs given at Ivies and the like. With grade inflation there that daughter would be okay. [/quote]
That's an overly broad statement - have you looked at the grade distributions at every one of these schools?   Dartmouth doesn't grade inflate.[/quote]
