That sounds very localized to the institution your friend works at. And public universities have very different admission procedures than private ones.
You won’t get into a high tier private university (Ivy or not) without SAT/ACT scores.
- alberth 3y agoWe’re saying the same thing. 99% of kids don’t have a perfect 4.0 GPA. But the point is, if you do happen to have a kid who does - there’s more harm than good that will result from taking SAT/ACT. For all others, it’s highly recommend to take.
- elteto 3y agoI don’t think we are saying the same thing. My point is that, 4.0 GPA or not, if you don’t take the SAT/ACT you will be at a disadvantage when applying to elite, private universities. For the very simple reason that there’ll be many others with similar background as you, with the exact same GPA _and_ SAT/ACT scores. You’ll be more of a wildcard to admissions due to lack of information. If you want to have a chance to get into Harvard/MIT/Stanford/etc you have to take the SAT/ACT. Period.
