[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the op touched a nerve in someone who is 100% hoping for elite admissions without test scores. [/quote]

Actually, sounds like exactly the opposite.  The OP clearly has a striver kid who is gunning for the Ivies.  OP seems extremely threatened by anyone going test optional and possibly *gasp* getting admitted over her snowflake.   :lol: [/quote]

Eh...there is a different poster on this thread that seems very defensive of their test optional stance and very offended by any suggestion that the best strategy is to submit test scores [/quote]

There are also a couple of posters who keep repeating things like “now you have no excuse not to test,” etc. - as if any excuse is needed.  Some very good students simply don’t test well, period.  Glad there is an option not to submit scores.[/quote]

Sure, but if the test is offered for free during school, refusing to report the score is like reporting a P instead of a grade in a core class.  Colleges assume the unreported grade is a D and the unreported SAT score is 25% or worse. [/quote]

So why are you telling us this? Go tell the admissions people.

It sounds like you’re afraid that test optional will still mean...test optional. [/quote]

The PP (and others) seem to be trying to send some sort of message - that students who choose test optional are somehow poor students or not worthy of admission, at least compared to students who do send in scores.  It’s really bizarre.  You’d think they would simply worry about their own kid and not what others choose to do. [/quote]
