我給你舉3個例子，你就好理解了，我們可以從招辦老師的措辭來看學(xué)校是真的不看SSAT還是說有別的含義，比如我們先來看看頂級走讀Menlo的學(xué)校對于標(biāo)化的要求：
For the 2023-2024 season Menlo has removed standardized testing from its admission process. ISEE and SSAT scores will neither be accepted nor reviewed. International applicants are required to submit TOEFL scores if the primary language of instruction at the student’s current academic institution is not English.
但是??！我再給你舉一個例子，比如我就以你要申請的Peddie為例，來看看學(xué)校的要求是什么樣的：
Standardized testing is required and test scores will be considered as part of the holistic review of your application. We accept the SSAT or the ISEE.
仔細看，對于標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化考試的要求是“Required”，不是“Optional”，所以要么考SSAT，要么考ISEE，但是必須得有，而且學(xué)校還明確說明了學(xué)校采用的是Holistic的選拔模式，會同步參看很多的參數(shù)，所以可以看出來學(xué)校對于標(biāo)化的要求是硬杠杠，當(dāng)然除了Peddie，其他的學(xué)校對于標(biāo)化成績不是必須的，還是繼續(xù)沿用test-optional，比如Choate Rosemary：
Standardized testing is not required to apply. When applicants choose to submit test scores, we consider them holistically as part of the broader application. A student is never assessed based solely on test scores. The admission committee evaluates candidates holistically using all application materials available, including the interview, teacher recommendations, grades, courses, and extracurricular involvement.
通過這個介紹可以看到標(biāo)化成績遞交還是會給你加分的。
