[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This, this, this! When test scores are discussed here it seems that people regard it as a be-all ranking. It is not used like that with TO schools or test-aware schools or test-required schools. It is one more piece of the applicant puzzle.[/quote] Pre-TO: ABC College has 100 applicants, 10 are accepted. 10% acceptance rate. TO: ABC College has 200 applicants, 100 are TO and 100 submit. 5 TO are accepted, 5 non-TO are accepted. Not only does the acceptance rate get slashed in half for ABC College, but now applicants with previously high scores are made to be less competitive due to rising medians. This should be obvious: More previously unqualified applicants accepted at similar rates = more competition = lower acceptance rate.[/quote] One isn't deemed "unqualified" because he/she didn't submit a test score. The applicant was accepted![/quote]
