Plenty of numbers in this are inaccurate |
It's also crazy how much lower the SAT scores are for schools that are no longer test-optional. |
Slightly outdated numbers. The percentage remains the same or is slightly higher if updated. |
False. The regents decreed it - even though it went against their own research findings. "In May 2020, the UC Regents voted to phase out admissions tests by 2025, against the recommendations of UC's own Standardized Testing Task Force (STTF; University of California Academic Senate, 2020)." The Regents want to be able to engage in more social engineering than testing would allow. |
| This table is from 2020. A lot has happened since then. |
Wrong- there was a settlement and a part of it was an agreement not to use standardized testing 21-25 https://publiccounsel.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Smith-v-UC-Regents_SETTLEMENT-AGREEMENT.pdf . Now that the settlement prohibition is expiring the Regent's have been considering bringing testing requirements back and if you read the minutes it is pretty obvious that Cal and UCLA want to bring it back. In addition they do accept AP scores which has been the work around for past several years. |
Where do you get this information? Guess my 1560 kid was part of the 20%. Denied by 2 Ivies and waitlisted at UVA in 2023. |

Bunch of shit without any source

Just use Pre-TO score rankings by looking at CDS from fall 2019(19-20 cds) or fall 2020(20-21 cds).
MIT was at the top, then Y, P, Stanford, H, Penn Duke JHU Vandy(used to really care ab scores) Dart Brown NWestern Cornell CMU Rice WashU Gtown Columbia and Chicago did not share CDS; Chic has been TO for years and Columbia hid their data--must not have been on par with the top half of the ivy or even the bottom half. |
