[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to imagine that the range of scores they're getting is small, so it makes sense that they don't find them significant anymore. [/quote]

With close to 50% not submitting scores, high scores would be helpful.

I keep hearing that if you come from a good school district, are [b]MC-UMV-Wealthy, no scores = low scores to universities nowadays[/b].  As our Counselor likes to say, nobody is NOT submitting a 35 or 1500 SAT.[/quote]

I hear that here, but I am not hearing it from college counselors.[/quote]

Yup. This has become the accepted wisdom of DCUM, reinforced within DCUM. But when people cite actual information from actual admissions officers, people find reasons not to believe it. It’s like mass delusion.[/quote]

Looking at the latest common data set, 71 percent of accepted students at UVA submitted test scores. That number is relatively high.  I believe data over propaganda from the admissions office.  [/quote]

More like 60%. 10-15% submit both tests, per pre-covid CDSs. [/quote]
