And if you snitched on that kid to Georgetown, they would have rejected him and called his guidance counselor. Not sure why parents are teaching kids to lie.

I would never snitch on a kid to a college or the college counselor. It just doesn’t seem like good karma. I just mentioned the selective reporting to Georgetown because I think it is way more common than people think!

Does Gtown actually ask for all sittings of all tests? My kid applied years ago and the two scores (ACT and SAT) were pretty similar so submitted both everywhere. But I thought we looked at Gtown and the careful reading of their request was all sittings of either test. Is that not the case?

DC emailed ans asked. The answer was GU wanted all.

Yeah, there's no gray area here. Only shady college consultants and parents teaching their kids to lie.

What’s wrong with college consultants? It’s not breaking any laws or rules to hire one.

It’s the SHADY ones that are not good.

DP. What's wrong is only the particular consultant referenced in the OP, who advises flouting Georgetown's application requirements.

Jesus

From what I know, Georgetown wants all SAT scores from all the tests taken. For AP exams they say it is optional but if you submit, it must be a official score report. They want students to be open and honest.

Yes and some "experts" suggest students not include their parent's JD as highest degree on common app. PhD ok, JD not so?
https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/60/1297572.page#30997333

are those experts are just cheating parents. Because any box that is required on the common app is required to be filled out TRUTHFULLY. You attest to that at the end, before submitting it.

100%.

College Board reports for all scores vs score choice cost the same.

I agree that the university is likely to be able to see whether the report is all scores vs score choice.

Gtown does, in fact, ask for all sittings of all SAT and ACT. They have been asking for that since forever. The wording on their website ("and/or SAT subject test scores") has some arguing that applicants don't need to submit both SAT and ACT, though in my opinion such a reading is a stretch.

"Georgetown does not participate in Score Choice and requires submission of each applicant’s complete testing record, including all SAT, ACT, and/or SAT Subject test scores. We remain firmly committed to a comprehensive and holistic review of all applications, and test scores are considered in their appropriate context." https://uadmissions.georgetown.edu/applying/preparation-process/

NP. My understanding is that Georgetown will be able to tell from the official College Board score report whether the student selected All Scores or used Score Choice.

I don't think Georgetown will know about the ACT.

shady. DD submitted 1500, 1530, 1470 in that order. wasn't happy about it but got accepted.

My kid's SAT scores went down as well and we will be disclosing it begrudgingly.

My kid got in with a total SAT score in low 1400s, but with an almost perfect score on the section that was most relevant to DC’s major. DC got the same result all three times DC took the test. We submitted all scores.

GU looks at scores holistically. Teach your student to be honest and proud of their achievements and submit all scores. Not submitting all scores even when instructed to reached your kids some pretty terrible lessons.
