![Assembly Bill 104 passed in the state of California to remove the numerical value grades usually have during a normal school year. Paly’s College Counselor, Sandra Cernobori, has witnessed many Paly students wishing to alter sufficient grades to build a better GPA-based college application. Although, Cernobori believes many students overlook what actually goes on during the admissions process, “[Colleges] do something called a holistic review,” said Cernobori, “And so they’re looking, not only high school, courses, grades, GPA, they ask for a whole activity list.” Graphic: Arati Periyannan](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/IMG_4604-900x675.png)
![Palo Alto High School senior Kimi Lillios studies for her November SAT, after the two previous test dates she had signed up for were canceled. Although Lillios has tried to take the SAT multiple times, she said she trusts colleges with test-optional policies will not disadvantage students who do not submit scores. “I think that the biggest impact going test-optional is going to have is that it’s just going to make the college admission process more unpredictable than it was before,” Lillios said. “I know that they [colleges] are also going to be under a lot of scrutiny ... so I’m hopeful that they’ll do their best to stay true to their word.” Photo: Sophia Krugler](https://palyvoice.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/IMG_2271-900x600.jpg)
