[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid’s test prep tutor (who also does college counseling) says test optional is real for everyone. As others have said, if you don’t submit test scores, everything else becomes more important. [/quote] This is what we were told as well. If it’s two kids with similar everything, but one submits high test scores, the school is likely to take the kid with the high test scores. If the kid without the test scores has a much better gpa or superlative extracurriculars, they’ll be admitted. It basically puts more emphasis on your gpa and extracurriculars, so those better be very strong. [/quote]
