[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, if my child chose not to take the SAT or ACT, I'd make it clear in the apps for TO schools avoid any misconception. It is true that not everyone is taking the SAT or ACT at this point. +1 to the CA comment after having lived there recently.

I don't understand why some here aiming for highly selective colleges just take the tests for the heck of it or after taking practice tests where they haven't regularly been scoring where they expect to.

Because test optional isn’t designed for rich white and Asian kids.  If that’s your student, you should be shooting for high test scores.[/quote]

Maybe for highly selective schools, but not outside T50 or so.[/quote]

Yes, but that generally isn’t the focus of this forum.[/quote]

Why not?  There are more average kids than exceptional kids, but the neurotic parents have taken over the forum.  Not every kid is a fit for or wants those schools.  People make these blanket statements about things like TO, which are just not true for all types of schools and you steer people wrong.  Your race conspiracy could be real at t50, but it’s the wrong strategy for less competitive schools where the AOs are specifically telling folks what to do.  By definition, the top few schools are not the norm.[/quote]

You are fighting a losing fight here, 90 percent of the posts are about T50 schools.[/quote]

That’s not true. UMD, Tech, and Pitt are frequently discussed here. [/quote]
