Here is the fact that is undisputable: Selective colleges could admit whoever the heck they wanted before they went test optional, and they can pick whoever they heck they want after test optional.[/quote]

You are ridiculous. Could they admit anyone before, irrespective of their test scores? Sure. Did they? No. Why? Any Adcom that presided over a precipitous drop in ranking for a top school (which is what would happen to a school that admitted any significant number kids with low test scores, pre-test optional) wouldn’t have a job very long. This I do know directly from the source. [/quote]

No you don't know.

They have always picked who they wanted based on criteria of their own choosing.

Just not of your choosing.

FYI, test scores are exactly 5% of the USN formula.  So you are clearly not as informed as you claim.[/quote]

It seems to me that some kids wouldn't have even bothered to apply in the past because they had low test scores. They might have gotten in if they applied but figured it wasn't worth it. But now they are applying and adding to the pool of applicants. So those kids wouldn't have gotten in before (because they didn't apply) but might now.[/quote]
