[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“ And to demonstrate their commitment to the test policy, colleges have to accept 30 to 50 percent among the students who did not submit a test score.”

Is this true? It would explain all the deferrals and WLs we are seeing at my DC’s Big3 private.  My kid has shown me MANY tik toks of kids getting into T20 schools this year - bragging that they only had an 1100 on the SAT or a 26 ACT and just didn’t submit scores. They have hit the lottery. It is a crazy admissions year. [/quote]

Let’s see what happens when the 1100 club tries to keep up at a rigorous college.[/quote]

This is ridiculous. One of the smartest people I know got a 480 on her math SAT (this was 30 years ago). She hates tests and didn't care about doing well on them because she thinks they are ridiculous. She got into a nice SLAC where she did very well because she only took classes that interested her. She went to grad school and also did very well. SATs do not measure intelligence. [/quote]
