Safeties: Emory, Case Western[/quote]
Im assuming you're the president and your child is applying right? [/quote]

Safeties are high test optional schools.
[/quote]
Those arent high TO schools. [b]Around 70% of Emory [/b]and Case students submit test scores. Only 50% of Vandy students submit. 60% of WashU students submit so wouldn't those be the safeties? [/quote]

Source for this other than a college prep place? From Emory itself…[/quote]

32% of their admitted class last cycle did not supply or submit any test score. Oft those admitted, 47% submitted an SAT score and 21% submitted an ACT score. [b]They don't indicate of this 32% what are the number of students that submitted both tests and were therefore counted twice as submitting scores.  So, it is likely higher than even 32%.[/b][/quote] Emory nor any other school would need to do this because they practice score choice. If you submit more than one test, the highest score is used. What you are reading is the highest score reported for every student who submitted. We get it, you hate Emory, but don't show off your low IQ. If what you are saying is true, then (which it is not) Vanderbilt would have far fewer than 50% of students submit test scores, which, by your standards, should make it a safety, but somehow it's more selective in your eyes?[/quote]
