[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Test Optional means optional.  For those of you who are having trouble with the concept.[/quote]

Get real. 2020 was one thing. Kids legit could not get tests.   For 2021, test optional means that schools can admit athletes, URM, First Gen, etc without their  SAT scores counting against the school’s average.  Not only is it optional for those kids, but if it isn’t strong, the school would prefer you not send it, so it doesn’t end up in the schools average.  3.9UW URM from rural Kansas?  You are test optional.

Test optional is not optional for UMC white and Asian kids from the DMV. They expected to post stellar scores.  And if they don’t, there are other kids with a similar profile to your kid who did. These are the scores schools rely on to have impressive looking SAT/ACT averages.

Everyone bring something to the table that impacts the bottom line. A URM first Gen brings diversity to the schools admit number.  UMC white and Asian kids from the DamV bring string scores and the ability to be full pay or close.
