<p>In response to fuzzyfirebunny’s response, I think we all know that standarized tests are either very important or important in the process of gaining admission into Ivys or tier one schools. In turn, an applicant needs high test scores–2250 or above for HYP–to stand a chance against other well-qualified candidates.</p>
<p>But, it is another thing to say that standarized tests are a judge of one’s intelligence or intellectual ability. Just because I didn’t score very well on the SATs and ACTs, 2000 and 30 respectively, doesn’t mean I am not smart, or in some circumstances it doesn’t mean that I am not able to transcend my scores and gain admission into an Ivy league school.</p>
