[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools that offered TO then had to accept a significant number. Leaving fewer spaces for the truly qualified students that usually get the spots.[/quote] Test Optional does not mean not qualified. What does truly qualified even mean? You guys either don't get it or want to find excuses for why your kid got rejected. TO is the new normal. Get used to it.[/quote] DP. Whatever. TO means that people who would not have been “qualified” in previous years are now considered to be “qualified.” That means that there are 50% more people, on average, in the pool vying for the same number of acceptances. The schools took TO kids at only a slightly lower rate than kids who submitted tests, so it has to have bumped some significant number of kids who submitted tests who would have gotten in in a non-TO year (because if the TO kids had test scores that were in range, they would have submitted them).
