[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you not submitting scores because you don't have any or because they are low. I've heard that if your kid goes to a private school where they took the SATs, not submitting those scores communicates to the school that they are low. Maybe public school kids who haven't been able to take the SATs are okay.[/quote]
15:55 PP, Do not have any scores. SAT cancelled twice, decided not to reschedule due to schools saying they were test optional. But schools shouldn't say test optional and lack of scores will have no negative impact and then defer and ask for scores anyway or draw a negative inference that a student must have low scores by not submitting. [/quote]

I think they went test optional when it was unclear if everyone could get a test. This fall, everyone I know who wanted a test got one. Our public offered the SAT in March, a week before everything closed. It seems that schools *might* penalize a kid who does not submit a score from that school. DC does much better on the ACT and it was cancelled 4 times, but DC got to take it in September and submitted it.

If a kid cannot take it because they have a parent with a life-threatening disease, they can explain that in the Common App COVID section. [/quote]
