[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this is for current Juniors?  my kid has no interest in Harvard, but this seems really really late to make this call for this class[/quote]

How?  A kid can still take SAT/ACT in the summer or early fall.  And in reality, if your kid had interest in Harvard or any other T20 school, they should have been planning to attempt the SAT in junior year.  Very few kids today just say, oh I'm not trying the SAT/ACT and will just apply to T20 schools.  Most are at least taking the test, with some test prep.  Then they evaluate and decide whether to submit

Um, because some kids did not plan to take the test 4x for superscoring when a one and done 1400+ is fine for the likes of Georgetown, which plays no such silly games?

And, regardless of your approval of an individual students’ TO plan, Harvard announced long ago it was TO not only for this fall’s applicants (class of 2025) but for the year after (2026). No other school made any such announcement and revoked it. Am actually amazed Harvard had the gall to do this at this late stage for fall applicants (as opposed to making it effective with the class of 2026).

The real reason, I suspect: AI loves test scores.

If they claim to be the most elite- wouldn’t it look weird not to require test scores? People would start trash talking when some of the other ivies have already re-instated them.

My Senior had a very high score and this round have helped him—though he did really well and I think schools were looking at then more this year even if it wasn’t official.[/quote]
