[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yesterday, on AN25 one of Sara H colleague suggested a 34 ACT should only be submitted to Vanderbilt for early decision (25%), but not regular decision based on their large data set of who has been successful in the past.

In RD Vanderbilt only wants 35/36 and truly is test optional.

I’ve seen similar anecdotal advice on here.

Test scores are truly a case-by-case decision IF a school is truly and honestly  test optional.[/quote]
With regard to the above advice from the SH colleague, it sounds old. Too far backward-looking. Vandy's submittal rate has been going too low and they will be looking to turn that around.[/quote]

Not what we were told point blank when we asked a senior Vandy admissions officer. We were told do not submit if it does not help your application (the 50th% mark of admitted students). My child asked if they assume a low score and they said no their rubric reduces the number of data points by one so test score is not considered at all. But that does mean the rest of the application must be very strong since each part counts more.

Go to the source is my advice. 
Don’t listen to anything people post here.[/quote]
