[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I say make the kids submit all their test scores, like Georgetown does. Do away with superscoring. Colleges can elect to consider whatever they like, but at least they have an accurate full picture.[/quote]

Colleges can also elect to be TO or Test Blind.  Many do feel they have an accurate full picture, even without test scores. There are some who were moving to Test Blind well before covid and will never change, as they feel they get the best class this method

Never say never, test blind works poorly in times of massive grade inflation.[/quote]

WPI started moving towards test blind in 2012.  for Fall 2022 they officially went Test Blind.  The year my DD was applying, when it would have helped her (test scores were at 85% for the school).  She got accepted with good merit, but might have gotten more if they had been TO.  
Their UW GPA is 3.9 and they don't seem to feel there is any reason to change. 
But I agree, many will not go Test Blind.  The point is, it is the college's choice.  No matter how much parents of high scoring kids hate it, the school gets to choose how they select students
