[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Curious how kids applying test optional fared so far this year.  DS is a junior coming from a W school in MCPS.  Likely not applying to top tier schools.  Wondering how kids looking at [b]T50-100+ schools did this year without submitting tests,[/b] particularly kids coming from top privates and W schools where my sense is that most kids submit.  Not my first kid so I know there’s no crystal ball and I know every school is different, but first kid did submit scores so I’m just trying to get a sense of how things are playing out this year.  Thanks for any insights![/quote]

Schools in this range include (not counting California schools):
NYU
BC
Tufts
BU
Lehigh
Wake
Case 
Northeastern 
Brandeis 
Santa Clara 
GW
Syracuse
U-Miami
Villanova
Tulane 
Pepperdine
Fordham
SMU
LMU
TCU
U-SD
American

And almost everyone we know who applied TO in this range (T35-100) got into several of these private colleges  (some w/merit). Some of them require more strategy than others depending on who else is applying from your school (BC/Tufts/Wake/Tulane)….but overall these private schools are all mostly really TO.

Too many people here think we are only talking about the top 10 or 15 schools…
Think bigger.[/quote]

OP: is this the kind of school you are looking at?

I’m also looking for real TO schools for my senior kid. Curious what else you’ve uncovered. 
Any SLACs?[/quote]
