[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or maybe, because this year is TO, kids with 1100s and their parents decided to skip expensive test prep and multiple tests for a better and then super scored result. Which is fine.[/quote] This! It's totally a selection issue. This person probably would have invested more time and money to increase the 1100 if it wasn't test optional (AND...the reason that isn't equitable is that not all families have the resources to do that). Also remember that just because a school is highly selective that part of that is because it is very popular and has a lot of applicants competing for slots. It doesn't mean that the school is necessarily "better" than other schools. It also doesn't mean that the "popular" school has a goal of taking the kids with the highest grades and test scores. It just means the school has a larger pool of applicants from which it can choose whichever mix they'd like.[/quote]
