[quote=Anonymous]TO is going to have to be for all.   
Remember that all of the California state systems (largest state by pop.) is now test-blind.  All of the west coast plus AZ is currently some form of test-optional if not test-blind. As a result many former testing locations along the west coast are ceasing to exist, making it more & more difficult to take a test even if the student wants to, a situation that will eventually result in no testing availability. So then what's the implications for (let's use eg. school's that DCUM would love) say Stanford and USC? If they went back to testing required as some here would prefer, would they then be excluding non-diversity applicants from their own state who can't take a test?  That would never happen. And don't for one second think that these west coast developments are happening in a vacuum. The largest population of current undergrads at MIT (test-required) come from ........... you guessed it California  [url]https://registrar.mit.edu/statistics-reports/geographic-distribution[/url]. That will have to change or MIT will have to change, I think I know which option I'd bet money on.
