[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]a lot of colleges that said test optional really meant test blind.  if you send it, we'll look at it.  if you don't, we won't consider it.

[b]now some colleges may be moving to a test optional policy that is more test aware. meaning, this isn't Georgetown and you dont have to send in your score, but if you don't we may draw our own conclusions about that [/b] [/quote]

This. I was told a kid from a good school district or private with means --they are going to assume their scores weren't good enough to send in.

Our CC joked that nobody is [/i][b]not [/b][i]sending in a 35-36 ACT, or 1580 SAT.  It will be assumed you bombed it.

Also, with such grade inflation and professors/universities continually noting students are arriving less and less prepared, having both ACT/SAT and GPA weeds out grade inflation to a degree---if you submit you got all 4-5s on your AP exams, even stronger.[/quote]

All of these kids - at places like Yale per a PP comment- that are unprepared  aren't URMs coming from the inner city as some DCUMers think. They are mostly UMC, suburban,  and white.[/quote]
