[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what Grinnell says about this, just to use one example of a competitive school that I’m familiar with.  I don’t think it’s too hard to read between the lines.

If you think your scores are an accurate representation of your ability, then you should feel free to submit them. If you feel they are not, then don’t submit them.

If you get the score you hoped for, and especially if it’s above average for Grinnell, submitting the score may help you in the admission process.

Keep in mind that we consider your test score in context. Even if your score is not above average for Grinnell, but it is for your high school or neighborhood, your score may help you in the admission process.

A high SAT or ACT score can offset a low GPA. If you don’t submit a score, we have less information about your academic performance. If you have a low GPA but do well on the SAT or ACT, your test score can be an important indicator of your potential to succeed in college-level classes.[/quote]

This sounds right. Drop the mic. [/quote]
