[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Were they really? I was surprised at some mid-low achievers getting into schools that would normally be way beyond their reach if they had to submit scores. Personally, I am glad to see a few schools bringing back score requirements. Grade inflation is alive and well. I mean, when you have 35 Valedictorians...what exactly is that telling us?[/quote] When they start seeing the work and the level of students admitted without scores, they can judge if they think that is a good option. From talking to someone in admissions at a top school, it's not looking too good for remaining 'test optional'. The rigor of high schools varies so much, as well as the level of education. Some kids cannot write a proper essay when they arrive.[/quote] When is this? You mean based on experiences from just this past year? Because these schools have excellent freshmen retention rates and graduation rates. [/quote]
