[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there a reason why UC schools (Berkeley, UCLA, etc.) are not on the list?[/quote]

Forbes had an SAT cutoff for the list of schools they gave the c-suite to evaluate, so did not include the UCs because they are test-blind [/quote]

How did they adjust for the % of test optional students? [/quote]

I think they should lower the average SAT scores of those schools with 30% test optional students by 100 points![/quote]

Princeton, Duke, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Chicago, Columbia, Rice, Cornell, Michigan, Emory, Notre Dame, Williams, Swarthmore, Pomona, Amherst, Bowdoin, Harvey Mudd are all test optional - in theory, but definitely policy. Berkeley and UCLA won't even look at test scores. These are all great schools with top students. Of course, most of these are test-preferred and you'd have to be pretty amazing in everything else to get in without submitting a SAT/ACT score. But it is possible to get in to a good school without submitting an SAT/ACT score. I'm pretty sure though almost all submit AP scores if they choose to not submit SAT/ACT scores.   [/quote]
