<p>Some “score-optional” schools require submission of SAT/ACT scores for those students who desire scholarship consideration. </p>
<p>Perhaps those mentioned schools don’t, but some do. </p>
<p>Since none of those scholarships are guaranteed and may not be for a lot of money, if much or most of a school’s cost is not affordable, then you need to include some financial safety schools.</p>
<p>Which Calif schools would be financial safety schools for your son? (these are schools that you know are affordable and that he’ll get accepted to.)</p>
