[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Like it or not, not submitting standardized test scores does send a clear message. How any particular school handles this can & will vary. [/b]

Some schools are likely to benefit from the TO policy as they can admit based on other factors without harming their US News rating component related to standardized test scores.[/quote]

I agree that schools benefit from TO.  But I assume the message sent by not sending in scores is that you felt sending in the scores didn’t benefit your application period. I don’t understand how this is two set of rules when the guidance is exactly the same whether you are purple, green or blue, high income or low income.  But if you want to mess around and NOT send in high scores that are above the threshold or send in lower than 50% threshold score because you feel like you are a victim of some sort of reverse oppression please go ahead but don’t blame minority and first generation college students (which I always need to remind people can be any race including white) if your kid doesn’t get in.[/quote]
