Thank you for sharing your story. College admission season is a hectic and stressful time for not only the student but also the family. I think it helps also, if the family is aware of how to be supportive of their student and understand the importance of often times , multiple tests, making certain deadlines are met and helping the student prepare for college interviews.

As of the 2023-2024 cycle, Brown is test-optional, as are many other programs, so you can apply without an ACT or SAT score. It might be a good idea to explore the other test-optional programs out there if the SAT and ACT are not currently an option.
