[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.

Our daughter didn't want to take the SAT after finding out it was optional at UVA.  We told her it would give her a leg up if the scores were good since so many applicants will have good GPAs and test score would be the only differentiation.  Her first 3 sittings were canceled but she was able to take it 2 within a week just a month before the ED deadline.  We figured if it was good then she can submit it and not if she didn't do well, she just had to invest the time to study for the exam.  With test optional and GPA inflation so rampant, we guessed schools would have a flood of applications this year.[/quote]
