[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How would we know what is "really" in the minds of admissions  [/quote]

Was that a necessary post? You can’t figure this out? (And, clearly you didn’t, so best to stay silent).

What OP is seeking is info we may have heard from a school counselor, info session/tour, or to even piggy back on some online research.

For example, Auburn is test optional but admissions will tell you that an applicant has less than a 2% chance of being admitted without a test score.  They also have a merit scholarship program where cutoffs are test scores and grades (info found on their website). You can extrapolate that a high test score helps a kid at Auburn but I wouldn’t have known that without talking to them.

That sort of info.[/quote]

I didn't post that comment about not knowing what is "really in the minds of admissions" but I agree with it.  I am continuously shocked on this forum about how people look for anecdotes from random anonyous posters as if it were actual data or info from a reliable source.
