[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Post-SC ruling and Test fluid world, the safest thing a t20 can do is double their questbridge and posse numbers and then load up on affluent families and/or kids coming from known privates.

They’ll end up w a barbell community - rich and poor - but they’ll increase Pell numbers which gets mentioned in the NYT and helps w ratings, their diversity numbers will look fine (also sure to be a NYT follow up article), the yield numbers will be solid and their budget will be fine.

So they’ve decided that’s a deal they’re willing to take. To look better to outsiders while keeping full pay kids. Even if it creates a problematic situation within the classroom. [/quote]

A lot of the T10s are beginning to require test scores, and it will be rolling downhill from there.

I think blowing up number of applicants to game the system when you have TO is going to now be taken into consideration in terms of 'selectivity'.  When you require test scores you start eliminating a large group of potential applicants that don't have what it takes so total number of applicants goes down in this 'self-selecting, pre-selection'.  I don't think for a second the Ivies that will now require test scores are going to sit quiet while the ones that don't report more and more selectivity.  They are all starting to fall like dominoes.  [/quote]
