[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The way I interpret this is: if you are underprivileged/first gen college applicant, and if you have an otherwise good application, we don’t care if you omit your scores.
If you went to a top private school[b] and are full pay[/b], you better believe that we expect you to submit your scores and for them to be exceptional.

I have no problem with that btw, and my DC are in the latter category.

Full pay applicants benefit under TO. Colleges need to pay the bills.[/quote]
Wait, I thought full pay applicants get high scores easily because they can afford test prep?[/quote]

Anyone can afford Khan - it’s free![/quote]

If you don't have reliable high speed internet at home, it's not too useful.

If you have to work 20+ hours a week to help the family pay rent/put food on table, etc. you may not have the time to devote to SAT test prep. 
If you have the responsibility of being in charge of your younger siblings before/after school and/or on weekends while your parent(s) work, you might not have the time/ability to do even "free test prep".  [/quote]
