I never really looked at the list before or explored the topic. The list has grown so much, and I have noticed that a few schools my son might be interested in are now on this list. I have some general questions. If one does not submit standardized scores, how are academic merit scholarships awarded? How does this impact the amount of grants vs. loans in a financial aid package? Has anyone felt that not submitting scores has hurt them in admissions, or by not being able to attend because of a lack of grant money. I suppose that most applicants not submitting scores are not doing so because their scores are in the below average range in at least one section.
