[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]50% Test optional [/quote]

Do you think my DC’s 35 ACT will help with RD admissions? Or are they rejecting the 1550/35+ kids for TO kids? [/quote]

They let nobody in RD essentially. The 35 ACT is not doing the work you think it is - high test scores are a dime a dozen.[/quote]

Why so rude? I don’t assume the 35 is doing “the work” Some schools really value a high test score on top of that high GPA. I didn’t know if Vanderbilt was one of them. Apparently they like test optional kids that aren’t one of the “dime a dozen” with high test scores…[/quote]

Your question, "Do you think my DC’s 35 ACT will help with RD admissions?" is said in a way that overstates the importance of the test score. It doesn't matter which college "likes" high test scores more than others; a 35 will get an app read, but nothing more.

[b]It seems like you see kids getting in TO and automatically assume your 35 ACT child will look more impressive. That's not how that works.[/b] Be realistic with your kids.[/quote]

You must not have a kid applying this cycle. High test scorers are getting accepted everywhere this year. It is crazy. So it actually IS how that works. [/quote]
