[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who works in college admissions, I don’t worry so much about the students with high GPA’s who go test optional. They tend to be hardworking students who will continue to work hard in college.  The ones I do worry about are the kids with B averages who score below 1100/23 on the SAT/ACT and apply TO—and absolutely struggle at mid-tier schools.  [/quote]

For the B student applying TO, given that a score is NOT reported, where are you getting the 1100/23 SAT & ACT data point from? Inferred based on GPA?

Either way, the highly selective colleges aren't accepting many B average students, TO or not.

Why do folks here think highly selective colleges are the only ones in the world or the only ones worth talking about.  For someone who emphasizes highly selective colleges, you need to read more carefully.  The poster said B students with low scores struggle at mid tier colleges.  I know it’s a shocker, but there are more than 50 colleges in this country and kids —even kids from the DC area—attend them.[/quote]
