[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parent of senior here, 1st kid.

where is this "conventional wisdom" found ????  CONVENTIONAL is mentioned by both OP and the next poster.

Please be specific.  Like, this website or that book or none of the above -- our $$$$ private counselor told us this.  Or the counselor in our giant public school system who's been doing this 20 years.

Our kid attends a private DC school and we have very responsive, engaged counselors for that tuition.  BUT ... but but but.  They definitely don't offer these kind of concrete, universally understood nuggets like "submit yes if > 75%.  No submit if <50% and gonzo GPA."

There is not real conventional wisdom because this is only the second class of kids to face this dilemma.[/quote]

And the first class where kids have plenty of opportunities to take the standardized tests.  2021s were limited by covid.[/quote]

No one is talking about lack of opportunity to take the test.  We're talking about smart kids who aren't good standardized test takers who could take a test every month and still not improve their score.  [/quote]

Follow along, many 2021s did not have any test scores to report because of COVID cancellation.  This application cycle is the first year applicants will only be choosing not to submit because of bad scores at most schools.[/quote]
