[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel the quality of students has gone down due to test optional - they are less prepared and motivated. Feeling this way as an alum and based on those that reach out to me.[/quote] I agree, my LAC alma matter went test optional a few years before Covid and the four year graduation rate has gone down since then. But [b]I don’t think any LACs are going back to test required[/b] because a decrease in applicants, including ED athletes, would not bode well for their survival.[/quote] I think it's self selection. I don't think SLACs have a problem of decreased applicant pool. They are really small, they can easily fill a class. But their policy favor athletes, FGLI, URM, legacy, e.g., institutional priorities. DC is not applying to SLACs next year if they are not test required. But if any switches back to test required, DC will apply to it. Different policies attract different applicant pools.[/quote]
