[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no advantage for a one sitting 35 vs a 3 test 35.  Just none.  Once you are in the right range for that school they no longer look at test results.  No school goes back and says well this person had a 36 and the other had a 35 so we will take the kid with the 36.  The 35 and the 36  qualified them and the decision is on other things.  No one looks at that 36 again.[/quote]

That is straight-up bullshit. Continue to live in your fantasyland where nobody cares how much test scores are frankensteined to get to the finish line, but no self-respecting AO from a Top 50 school is indifferent to the 36 vs. 35 comparison. They’re just not.

It matters. One-and-done 36 is better than one-and-done 35, and both are better than a super scored 36.[/quote]

You are wrong.

Admissions officers don't care how an applicant gets to 34 or 1500. Get there, and then they can consider the rest of the app. They really don't give a damn if you get a 33 or 1450 on the first pass. Hit 34 or 1500 ultimately. It doesn't matter if it takes a couple of attempts.[/quote]

- said nobody, ever, whose own score or whose kid’s score was a 1600 or 36 in one attempt[/quote]
