I mean…Columbia went permanently TO. Cornell announced that it’s extending TO. Michigan is permanently TO. The UC schools are permanently test-blind. Amherst, Pomona, and a number of other top-ranked SLACs are permanently TO. The vast majority of schools outside the ~50 people on here talk about are still TO and don’t seem to be signaling any change.

I think testing is going to come back for a small subset of schools that have huge numbers of applications and want to use tests to cull applicants easily, and at public schools in some red states.

I think the “TO is over” folks are reading the evidence very selectively.[/quote]

If Brown is going back to test required, along with Dartmouth etc, it's pretty clear the "TO" schools are only lip service and in practice those who don't submit scores will not be evaluated in the same light as those who do.

It's pretty clear that the schools have seen some significant underperformance in those who took advantage of TO. [/quote]
