[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with a previous poster that this system is broken. The gamesmanship just cannot be what schools intended with test-optional. My son also has a 1380, which is why I clicked on this, and he is submitting it everywhere. It’s a good score and he worked hard for it. A school that would reject him KNOWING that many test-optional students didn’t score nearly as well is really not a school worth going to.[/quote]

It may just be me, but I feel like [b]university admissions are a lottery[/b].  I had a kid that scored a 35 (first sitting) on the ACT with a good GPA.  [/quote]
Good take. Never heard that before. [/quote]

For around 20 schools, random lottery.

For around 30 additional schools, hard to read.

For literally every other school: pretty straightforward.

NYU (for example) had 120,000 applications last year for 5,700 seats, that’s a 5% admit rate, I can’t imagine anything they care less about than whether you are confused about their test policy or not. Shut up and apply, dummy.

BTW at $80 per applicant that’s $9.6 Million in revenue where 95% of the players lose, and the winners get to hand them $95k a year for four years.

Literally better odds playing roulette at a casino.

The number of applicants will go up in 2024.
