Below are some final thoughts from our special guest, Robert Franek, Editor-in-Chief of the Princeton Review:

As we chatted about, colleges truly understand the unique circumstances that the class of 2021 is experiencing. As you explore best-fit schools for your kids, just be sure to research each school’s specific testing policy so you aren’t caught off guard when it comes time to apply. You’ll want to learn whether these policies not only apply to admissions decisions, but also to scholarship and academic placement decisions.

Please know that if your kids still need test scores to qualify for merit aid, athletics, or academic placement, or if you simply want to include test scores to make that application stand out regardless of a school’s policy, our team can help. If you want to see where you stand, you can take our free SAT and ACT practice tests online. Nicole, who oversees our test prep and tutoring for Westfield families, would be happy to provide you with a complimentary score consultation afterward.
