[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid scored 1590 on the first try. Also NMS We love that there are many candidates who go TO. It does not harm us or them. [/quote] You are naive. My child with a similar score got waitlisted for HYPSM last year. If it wasn't test optional, I'm fairly certain they would have been accepted. The school has a small waitlist, and some TO kids have been accepted instead of my kid.[/quote] Maybe those TO kids were more interesting, wrote a better application, had better recs, or overall seemed to be a better fit for the school.[/quote] This whole thing about "fit" seems somewhat preposterous to me. As though there is one place each of our kids "fits"....or that colleges and universities cater to one "type" of student.[/quote]
