[quote=Anonymous]I’m hearing it really varies by college. I hate the TO system because it think it’s a never ending death spiral. Take a school that 3 years ago had admitted saga in the 1400-1450 range. 2 years ago kids would only submit if they were above 1425, so admitted range went up to 1425-1475. Last year kids only submit if above 1450, so admitted range goes up to 1450-1500. This year will go up again and next year again, etc. etc. that’s just an example but I’ve heard that is essentially what’s happening at many TO schools. I personally think standardized tests are great for helping to ID promising kids from random schools in random towns. And the death of standardized test scores probably only helps kids whose applications are being crafted by their parents and consultants. [/quote]
