[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When schools say they are TO, isn’t that just to leave the door open for students who haven’t had access to test prep and testing opportunities? I’ve always thought it wasn’t really meant for kids in wealthy school districts, even though there is much mention of TO here. I fear that if my lower/average scoring kid from a wealthy area does TO, they just won’t be considered at all. Any real information about this? Thanks[/quote] By the population of who gets accepted TO based on raw numbers, most are UMC white kids. Vanderbilt is a prime example. URMs aren't accepted in high percentages at the selective colleges, so obviously lower TO acceptances overall. Don't believe the TO = URM myth. [/quote] Based entirely on your own opinion. Fact— every top school started bragging about “record” enrollment of minorities, low income, and first gen after adoption of test optional. [/quote]
