[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FWIW. My kid had 1490 in spring Junior year. She is top 1% with highest rigor and good ECs at strong private. Her CC told her: 1) Only take SAT one more time then stop and 2)[b] not submit 1490 to Wash U. [/b][/quote] Yes, do not submit a 1490 (or lower) to Vanderbilt or WashU. Both have explicitly and openly told their counterparts in HS counseling offices this. They don't want that score.[/quote] Ugh, this is so incredibly cynical. And so corrosive. Can’t blame the kids for playing the admissions game. Can’t blame the school for playing the rankings game. But what does intellectual integrity look like in a campus community formed via this kind of gamesmanship?[/quote] Huh? The kids admitted are still incredibly bright and accomplished. Schools and kids are playing the game (which you said you completely understand) and it works. [/quote]
