[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can colleges see test scores of TO applicants after the admissions process is complete? What about students who never took the test? I don't completely discount their findings but I find some of their methods suspect. [/quote] I thought that was interesting, too. The article said that for kids who took the test but didn’t report, the schools are able to see the scores after the application cycle ends. That was the important analysis and the key findings: many kids didn’t report scores thinking they weren’t high enough to help them, but in fact, those scores would have helped them. The key insight from the article to me is that Dartmouth isn’t interested in the 1490 vs 1500, they are looking at whether the score meets s much more basic threshold that suggests the ability to handle the work and succeed at it. And it suggests that the vast majority of DCUM kids should be reporting scores that so often are dismissed as unimpressive here. [/quote]
