Where would you not submit at 1520 or a 1540. Some counselors are telling kids with these scores to go test optional to very highly selective schools.. the whole process, in terms of TO, has become a game. Wish college had to be either test required or test blind.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay, consensus seems to be to submit the score.  I think it is a great score. Math is 770 and verbal is 730.  [/quote]

Do you know the meaning of consensus?  There's five pages of differing views.   But you should do what you want,  ignore the consultant you're paying, and submit a score that's in the bottom fourth of enrolled students from last year.[/quote]

It’s not in the bottom fourth of enrolled students if 32% didn’t submit any scores.  Likely that means it is in the top 1/2 of enrolled students.

The 32% that didn’t submit were probably scoring well below 1500.[/quote]

A 1500 is a drag on the average. Hard to see how that's a plus. [/quote][/quote]
NP. I think counselors saying not to submit a 1500 are giving bad advice. Maybe the student won't get in, but a 1500 isn't going to be the reason. 1500 shows they are prepared for Duke. [b]Go back to the pre-test-optional data from Common Data Set 2020-21, which was 1480-1560[/b].[/quote]

This! The caliber of applicants did not rocket even higher (this is DUKE for crying out loud). What changed was test optional and the pandemic. The kids are still the same.

I think at least on PP is a parent that convinced their high scoring student to not submit their scores and now they are defending the decision.[/quote]

Certainly sounds like a parent trying to defend it. Literally no one else cares this much. [/quote]
