[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are getting in with far lower scores all the time. [b]You just need to apply TO[/b], assuming the rest of the application is rock solid. [/quote] Terrible advice. 1490 is a fantastic score. Are there kids with higher, yes but 97% have lower. In addition to more schools being test required even the top ones that are still officially TO they increasingly prefer applicants with scores. Keep in mind that we don't have CDS for the class of '29 yet, with more test scores being submitted the medians likely have started to return to pre covid ranges and the percent of admittees submitting scores probably went up[/quote] Its not that simple. At a SLAC, if others from your school are applying with stronger scores, your app might be stronger WITHOUT it. I'd ask your CCO if at a private. Ours advised when to go TO and when not to. For selective SLACS and schools like Michigan, WashU and Vanderbilt.[/quote]
