[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many colleges don’t necessarily want to see your actual SAT score. This award is a way for students with high but not-high-enough scores to assure colleges that their scores are pretty high, at least in context, while still applying test optional to keep their stats out of the school’s profile. [/quote] This is what I was thinking, too. Her public high school doesn't offer AP classes, so I think she must have scored in the top 10% for the PSAT. Her school does not have any National Merit Semifinalists. I know that colleges review applications in the context of the applicant's high school, but I don't think that necessarily applies to SAT scores because they don't want their overall average SAT scores to go down. Even though my kids have scored high relative to their high school peers, sometimes their scores are too low to be used in an application. I think this will be another data point for colleges to consider.[/quote]
