<p>Xiggi asked,
</p>
<p>I wondered, too. Could it be it was originally well-intentioned, in response to h.s. kids not sending their scores directly to colleges on time. So the h.s. was mopping up after disorganized students? </p>
<p>My kids sat for SAT’s when their lists were still in flux, so it was hard to recall where they had sent which scores or put the newest additional college names into the loop.</p>
<p>It’s all computerized now, so students can check their tracks…but who’s checking on the students?</p>
<p>Sometimes what is good-hearted in one school turns into a nasty when applied to kids who don’t need that kind of “help.” I would NOT want to be a GC today. </p>
<p>When you think about it, the h.s. is trying to help; has nothing to gain by doing this except to ensure all kids have SOME scores sent. It’s more work for the h.s. to do this than to leave it off. So I conclude it’s over-the-top well-intentioned h.s. stuff, not appreciated by those better-informed students who prefer to cherry-pick their best scores.</p>
