[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Test score, when viewed in the context of your school, is important.  Many here jumped at the first chance to opine that scores are not important, and don't do much on their own.
[b]If test scores are not important, why schools consistently end up having 25% with 1570 or higher, 50% with 1525 or higher?  Year after year?
[/b]
Application Nation said that even at test optional school, most of the kids got in not only submit scores, but high scores.  
Downplaying the importance of test scores, especially this year, is misleading or at least an outdated view[/quote]

My kid got in test optional to many T20 last year. The truth is you need [b]something else/special[/b] to be TO at that level of school. Basically an applicant who’d be in the running for HYPSM (with a decent 1520+ score). Everything else is already there.
Then it works. Otherwise, no dice.[/quote]

It's a spike.

Application Nation has the same view.  They have all these data from their groups over the past few years.  Absent of a big spike, no chance at T20 for TO.[/quote]
