[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP: wow, so much great advice here! DC is taking SAT again in June and wants to visit Wash U as a possible ED2 choice after Chicago. Applied for Chicago summer and is waitlisted. So ED1 it is. It looks like they take a lot TO - 26% of the class of 2028. Michigan also - maybe 30% are TO. DC is at a small private and doesn’t want SLAC. I will try to respond to more individual posts later tonight. But ty for all the advice!

Lots of ECs and awards around classics, it’s a real thing for dc and for yrs. Lots of other ECs as well, in fact the issue is how to limit them to just 10 on the common app. LOCs should be strong. Classics teacher is writing one.

Also - I apologize to those offended by my boo-hoo 1400 - I get it, it’s not a terrible score of course but dc has been hoping and aiming for 1500 - which is what the scores on practice tests have been. [/quote]

My senior got into Michigan test optional. Female.  
Humanities major. 
NonDMV Private.[/quote]

OP: this is a relief to hear. What is the min score you would have submitted?[/quote]

The former MI college counselor everyone follows on Facebook (found out about her here - empowered 4 college) says OOS test scores are higher than in-state, so don’t go by UM’s published 25%.

For OOS, I think she says not to submit scores unless high 1400s/33, unless extenuating circumstances (School cohort; URM; FG; etc). If you post on her board, she will tell you whether or not you should submit or not, but she may want more information - like major, type of high school and caliber of activities. A lot of it is high school dependent, what the scores from the rest of your high school will look like and, whether or not the test score will appear to be a blemish on an otherwise strong application.[/quote]

That’s what I would have guessed. We have a friend who got in w 1480 this yr. But according to their CDS they take 30% TO. [/quote]
