[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were waiting on this news to see if our legacy low-1400s scorer with an otherwise excellent application should retake. Now he'll just go TO, and has a reasonable shot with an ED application. The unfortunate part of the TO thing at the super selective schools is that kids who get less than a 1500 don't submit so it's a race to the top.[/quote] You should reconsider. In theory TO is meant to level the playing field for smart kids who don't have the opportunity or resources. If your kid is not in that set, and your kids school is also not under-resourced, applying TO means you have a weaker application than another kid from the same/similar school who submits strong test scores and has the ECs too. Retaking doesn't hurt, and may help.[/quote]
