[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I heard an admissions director say recently that they were hearing from kids who were refusing to submit scores as a protest against standardized testing. Pretty brave, considering that those same kids turned out to have good scores. [/quote]
How could admissions know the kids had good scores if they applied without them?

My senior was pretty upset about the whole standardized testing controversy back when he was a sophomore. Thought it was some conspiracy against the disadvantaged. He ended up with a high score, National Merit, and admission to a T10. Would that admission have happened test optional? Possible, but seems unlikely, with only about a quarter of the enrolled class having applied test optional and the particular high school not well established.[/quote]

After kids are admitted and when they enroll the schools can see their scores. He made this comment as part of a larger discussion and just mentioned briefly that it was just one additional consideration in their decisions about whether to bring back the test score mandate. [/quote]
