[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what schools is your kid applying to. I think if you share that, you may get more specific information out of folks. I have thoughts (and a freshman in college from this area), but it really depends on what schools your kid is applying to. [/quote]
Tulane - last year they admitted 45% of their class TO. Their middle 50 range is 1380-1490, middle 50% 1435. DC has a 1400. [/quote]
I’d submit, that’s close enough to in range and a solid score.[/quote]
Bad advice. A score below the median is an impediment to taking a student the school might otherwise want. A 1400 is a good score but it would hurt the student's chances here, so they should keep it to themselves at this school.[/quote]
This is what's driving us nuts and what we keep coming back to is - this score is only 35 points below their "middle", but if DC doesn't submit, would the assumption be the score is sub-1380. DH says absolutely and I'm not sure. [/quote]
I don't know what to tell you. Your DH is just wrong. Colleges truly DGAF about scores they don't see--and thus need not report. Tulane, especially, doesn't want to see scores that will drag down its average. Don't report a 1400; reporting would hurt his chances.[/quote]
