[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With Princeton finally changing, he only Test Optional schools left in the T10/ivy group:

Northwestern
Columbia
Duke

Makes those three look pretty desperate for apps.

I predict Duke and NU change to required next. Columbia has too many other issues that risk matriculation of true ivy quality kids; they will wait until 2029 or later and will exempt GS applicants[/quote]

I know NU won't right now. They have pressure for revenue sports recruiting and are now getting basketball players they would have NEVER gotten before. One was announced last week and its a GIANT coup.

Duke is quite happy as well given their carolinas commitment. Scores are signficantly lower there and they don't want to bring down the averages.
I'd assume Vanderbilt is VERY happy with their football team right now.

Schools with real sports shouldn't have to have scores for recruited athletes. Winning teams transform and complete a college experience. [/quote]

Agree with this.

For the first time in the modern era, Vanderbilt has a competitive nationally ranked football team in the SEC. Their quarterback is a Heisman contender!!!

It happened in the test optional era only. Why do we think that is?

Some of the comments in this thread are laughable. People have no idea how T25 schools use test optional. It helps them fulfill their institutional priorities. It is never an institutional priority to just have more high stats kids.[/quote]
