[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Test optional is only a thing for students at elite high schools or URM/first gens. All other kids need a good score for top schools - period. That means you give up a summer and study all summer while the kids at the elite schools participate in prestigious internships their parents got for them - it just increases inequities. [/quote] It is not benefitting kids at elite high schools.[/quote] How do you know that? Anecdotally? Many AO's have said test scores don't tell them anything new with kids from top high schools but help evaluate preparedness or rigor of kids from lesser known schools. Seems to me if you want to stand out from a lesser known school you need the test score - and you probably need strong AP scores. [/quote]
