[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD applied test optional and so far has gotten into all the schools that had early action and she received top merit at all of them. The schools were not T-10, but more like T50-75. She had a 3.9/4.6W and a lot of very good EC's, so that helped. In her case, I don't think she would have gotten as much merit if she'd submitted her decent, but not stellar test scores. If you are looking at more competitive schools, it may be a different story.[/quote] This is true at least from some of the data on College Confidential. Kids were getting Honors College offers and large merit awards TO but those with similar stats who submitted tests didn’t receive the same offers with SATs lower than 1500. It was surprising to me and seemed even the less competitive schools are using the 1500 benchmark now 😬[/quote] I’ve seen more cases of to kids not getting merit.[/quote]
