ED or RD? Uw gpa? Public or private? |
👏 👏 👏 Your kids are “crushing it” ? You sound not only ridiculous, but insufferable. |
Thx for this. We likely will need to apply TO and many of these schools are on DD list. My kid has taken ACT 2 times, and had very expensive tutoring/coaching. 31 and 32. She’s trying one more time. It’s a timing issue for her. So painful. Maybe time away will help. Non-dmv private with high gpa. |
I’m the OP. Thanks for the responses and PPs list. Any TO success at state schools? DS has average grades so we are not looking for T25 schools. Probably more in the T50-100 range. |
I think they are going to start trending down...the TO success stories.
I think for the selective schools they are looking and test aware going forward. It is the bump over other similar candidates that are TO. |
Frankly, I think the high ACT and 5s on APs helped get my kid into Pomona. It was tough this year. Some are TO only to capture certain 'types' of students...First Gen, rural areas, etc. |
My DS got into every state school ranked 50-100 in EA except Purdue, where he was waitlisted. TO from JR. Hardly any EC’s but works a lot, 9 APs, A/B student, great writer, not stem. Got major aid from one. Your DS will be fine! |
^^DS withdrew from Purdue because it was not a top choice, so no idea if it would have later been an acceptance. |
^^^Also, he did submit all but one AP test. They were all 4s. |
ED, 4.0 uw, public |
Child was admitted to all of the schools test optional no early decision:
Clemson SMU South Carolina Tulane U Miami Wake |
Gpa? Private high school? |
3.8 uw private |
TO is not going away at these schools - for some, probably ever. For others for at least a year (or more)… Hope my research is helpful to others! UChicago (historical) WashU (44% of admitted students TO) Vanderbilt (47% TO of admitted students) USC (Cali) Cornell (certain colleges) Claremont McKenna (Cali) NYU BU UMiami (historically TO) Northeastern Villanova Middlebury (close to 50%) Wesleyan (historical) BC Lehigh Pomona (Cali) Wake (historically TO) Tufts (40%) Tulane (50% of the admitted students for our Class of 2027 did not submit test scores.) Historical Test-optional schools - for more than a decade, include the University of Chicago, Brandeis University, the University of Rochester, Wake Forest University and Wesleyan University. Bates, Bowdoin, Colorado, Dickinson, Emerson and Pitzer colleges. |

false. Every day another college announces it is dropping TO |
