[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I know it's test optional now, but it really isn't for most people. Above 1500 or 34 gets you a look. [/quote] Why do people keep pretending most kids aren't applying TO? Per Vandy's 2021-22 CDS, only 25% of enrolled 2021 students submitted an SAT score (403 kids) and 32% submitted an ACT score (527). SAT range was 1480-1570. [/quote]

Dp, but I think she was saying that test optional is only for certain demographics, i.e. the 40 percent test optional were primarily hooked applicants.[/quote]

this is 100% not true

AOs do not look at TO applications through a socioeconomic or URM lens.  There has never been an AO at any college going on record saying they do this

another half baked DCUM narrative to make the elite feel that Chase or Colton’s 1560 gives them a leg up vs the other prep school kids.  [/quote]

First of all, hooked also  includes athletes, legacies and children of donors.

[b]And yes, no admissions officer would admit it because every school is planning on using TO/holistic review as a means of skirting the impending Supreme Court decision on affirmative action.  Admissions of urm, rural, and first Gen students have increased dramatically since TO has been adopted at the most selective schools[/b].[/quote]

thank you for exposing this grand conspiracy of elite college admissions! Call Fox News immediately![/quote]

yep just because more URM kids are getting in with TO doesn’t mean that AOs are saying “this kid went to a private, has money to prep, and we expect to see a score!”

what it means is that Chase and Colton are now on an even playing field with the URM when they go TO[/quote]

sorry about the even playing field - I know that’s a new concept for many

Ah, woke liberals. You really are an adorable people.[/quote][/quote]
