[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Of course. The schools that like tests have moderate demand and moderate prices (Purdue, Bama) or high demand and high prices (MIT, CalTech). Moderate demand + high price = test optional, starting way before COVID with Bates and Chicago. Pomona definitely falls into that category. I would expect all ED schools to stay TO. [/quote] Cal tech is test blind[/quote] DP but Caltech is an anomaly that it’s test blind. If you look at its admissions site it very clearly states they expect you to take the hardest STEM classes your school offers and it seems like they encourage to go above and beyond if feasible. Outside of first gen students, I don’t think they’re accepting anyone who has just done Calc AB.[/quote] Don’t disagree, but at least kids can spend their time on those efforts vs prepping for standardized tests. Just pointing out the error in PP argument.[/quote]
