[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is wrong to assume that public school students are doing better than normal while only private school students are doing worse than normal.  TJ students are doing much worse than normal as well!  A education/application agency I know says that their students’ EA application results (all public) are much worse than normal as well. The first primary reasons they offered are:  the big, big jump in # of applicants for very competitive colleges.  In years past, many students with special qualifications/attributes/characteristics/achievements/talents did not apply to the very selective colleges because of very bad SAT scores.  With SAT scores optional, these no traditional applicants took away many spots.  The second reason is that colleges are reluctant to hand out EAs because of the many uncertainties.

Implication: Test scores will become less and less important, and special talents more and more important.

Wrong - Recruited Athletes still had to submit official test scores and many HS hosted the “optional at school  SAT/ ACT  test day “ so that they could fulfill the requirement[/quote]
