[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is one reason the PSAT awards are so valuable. If you get “commended” and/or NRSTRA/NAARA/NHRA/etc. you can report the award, reassuring the school that you’re over the bar, while still keeping your actual SAT score out of their CDS data.

But then, most commended students will likely end up with high SAT scores anyways.. why wouldn't they report it?[/quote]

You don't report it if the school's 50th percentile is 1550 from prior year and you have 1500 in current year with no other hooks. Don't want to give them an easy 'reject' trigger and hopefully going TO 'forces' them to take a closer look at your app before 'rejecting'.   [/quote]

I would submit the 1500 in this case. It's slightly below the median which has been jacked up by TO. It's a great score for the school in question and would backup excellent grades. I fail to understand all the posters on DCUM who are hung up on beating last year's 50th percentile. Has any school come out and recommended this?[/quote]

It’s a surefire way to get dinged; presumption being the score is a 1300 or something if not submitted….[/quote]

Are you in admissions?[/quote]
