[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Trying to figure it out too, but a tier down from OPs schools. On the one hand, colleges will receive some of the highest scores to date, albeit less submitted. The kids who took it last Aug, Oct and Dec are submitting very high scores.

So, how does one decide for a kid with a low 1400, only one shot. I think there's so much at play here. DS has shown me all of the emails blowing smoke.  College websites have dedicated pages, dripping with empathy for the class of 2021. Yet, if they're getting less score submissions, but higher scores, then the low 1400 score may be a hindrance. Because buried in all the empathy, a low 1400 drags down those 1500+[/quote]

I’ve wondered about this. If only the 1600 kids are submitting scores, and they have to choose between an all A student with a 1400 and an all A student with no scores, would they pick the one with no scores to keep their average yeast score up?  Assuming equivalent applications otherwise, they won’t be worried about either all A student being able to do college-level work. [/quote]
