[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD applied test optional and so far has gotten into all the schools that had early action and she received top merit at all of them. The schools were not T-10, but more like T50-75. She had a 3.9/4.6W and a lot of very good EC's, so that helped. In her case, I don't think she would have gotten as much merit if she'd submitted her decent, but not stellar test scores. If you are looking at more competitive schools, it may be a different story.[/quote] THIS^^^ Outside of the Top 25 or so, TO is really TO. Does not matter if your zip code indicates you could prep and easily take the SAT. Inside the T25, I believe it does matter. If you attend an elite prep school or magnet Public HS, and do not submit test scores, I think it might hurt you[/quote] Given that 90% of the DCUM parents' kids will NOT attend a T25, the opportunity to apply and gain admission to a T50-75 via a strong application - without having to submit a SAT/ACT score - is welcomed.[/quote]
