thank you - we told her we are super proud of her. She has never taken these types of tests before so the experience alone was worth it. I was seriously asking about the test optional schools as we do not want to hurt her chances and are only trying to do right by her as this is something she really wants. I think some of the schools scared us when they said they were looking for 96%. While I think the scores are probably worth sending, it was the writing that gave us more pause - not sure if the writing would negate the benefit. A few schools said we could call them with her scores if she took the test and they would advise. Will they just want them or advice in her best interest?If the writing were not fair I would send the scores.
