[quote=Anonymous]Many admissions offices would love to remain test optional because it gives them maximum flexibility and insulates them from scrutiny. But at the same time, they don't want to admit students who throw off their stats by flunking out (or taking 10 years to graduate), and they also get pushback from faculty and administration when that happens. That's not really a risk with subjects that aren't math-heavy - a prospective psych major with a 4.0 high school GPA who has a 1400 or even 1300 SAT is probably going to do fine, even at Princeton. It is a concern with engineering and similar subjects. This seems to be driving the return to requiring tests, which for the most part is not happening even at very selective liberal arts colleges. It makes sense that Princeton is differentiating by major in this way.[/quote]
