[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]50% Test optional [/quote]

Do you think my DC’s 35 ACT will help with RD admissions? Or are they rejecting the 1550/35+ kids for TO kids? [/quote]

They let nobody in RD essentially. The 35 ACT is not doing the work you think it is - high test scores are a dime a dozen.[/quote]

Why so rude? I don’t assume the 35 is doing “the work” Some schools really value a high test score on top of that high GPA. I didn’t know if Vanderbilt was one of them. Apparently they like test optional kids that aren’t one of the “dime a dozen” with high test scores…[/quote]

Your question, "Do you think my DC’s 35 ACT will help with RD admissions?" is said in a way that overstates the importance of the test score. It doesn't matter which college "likes" high test scores more than others; a 35 will get an app read, but nothing more.

It seems like you see kids getting in TO and automatically assume your 35 ACT child will look more impressive. That's not how that works. Be realistic with your kids.[/quote]

Parents here tend to think that their kids are the lone shining star in the sky. Constant mentality that their kids are superior and unique despite being one of the pack.[/quote]
