[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think test optional means that seats are going to academically unqualified students. I do think that holistic admissions, including test optional, has changed how academically qualified is measured. That in turn has reduced the ability of students and families to assess who is getting in and where, which has created the spiral of more and more applications and lower and lower acceptance rates at a subset of colleges. There are also more high achieving students for a variety of reasons. Importantly, it is not just URM and FGLI using test optional. It has changed the calculus of how applicants put their applications together and we are in the middle of an upheaval. I also think “yield protection” is a very small piece of rejections. A waitlist position with merit aid might be the one place I believe this happens.[/quote]
