[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From 23-24 CDS, submitters:

UChicago 46% SAT, 30% ACT
Vandy 25% SAT, 26% ACT
WashU 29% SAT, 28% ACT
BC 28% SAT, 16% ACT
USC 32% SAT/14% ACT

UChicago has never had a class where over 50% of enrolled students were TO. Ever.

Of the others, depends on overlap, which may be a much smaller % than pre-TO.

Policies are in flux. Be aware that BC is now test-recommended ("encouraged"). Vandy is a weird one, as pre-TO they loved strong scores and had a smitch higher reported ranges vs similarly-ranked schools. USC is in CA, which may explain the large % TO.[/quote]

My DD asked the AO for Vandy, WashU and USC about test scores this summer and fall.

Vandy said do not submit below 50% unless it is a "high score" for your HS.
WashU and USC directly said don't submit below 50% at all. They said your application would not be hurt and they don't "assume" a low score.

Other schools may be different.

Duke AO said not submitting test scores WILL NOT hurt the application. They haven't their published their CDS in a while either....
Also, their scoring rubric has changed.[/quote]
