[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]all missing the point - it[b]’s for athletic admits [/quote] No, it isn't. [/b]The Academic Index system always allowed them to admit athletes with lower SAT scores, even under test-required. That's why it hasn't been an impediment for the Ivies that have gone back to requiring tests. It's for FGLI and URM. Princeton is uniquely focused among the top schools on getting FGLI and URM students, and TO enables them to do so without having to worry about the data showing that the scoring profile of such students is much lower. [/quote] Test-optional was created to provide easier access for URM students. Legacy and athletes happened to follow. Here's the history. https://www.ncan.org/news/693186/Race-Conscious-Admissions-and-Black-Students-The-Past-Present-and-Future.htm[/quote]
