[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think 1400 is do-able for Georgetown! And Chicago admits 25% with no SAT score. Michigan seems like the hard one TBH.[/quote]

OP: I just checked and their 25th percentile score is 1400 - surprising! [/quote]

The 25% is usually hooked (athlete, faculty, donor, etc)….just remember that.

You really should go by the 50th percentile as the guide unless you are hooked or have something really special[/quote]

My sense is it is [b]better to submit at 25th [/b]percentile that go TO and the assumption might be the score was even lower. Middle 50% puts you in range. [/quote]

It really depends on the school. There is no blanket statement like that is true.

For example, if you submitted a score like that at Vanderbilt, it would hurt you. Absolutely. The AO will tell you if you ask (go to their summer pre-VU and city college tours and chat with AO - we found them very forthcoming about TO - also at WashU).

At other “test optional “schools your guidance might be right.[/quote]
Vandy and WashU are around 50% test optional, that's why. Even a 1500 should go TO  [/quote]
