[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please stop with the URM BS. If 50% of the kids at Vandy were TO, you know darn good and well that most of them were white. This isn't 1980's admissions with paper applications. Colleges have so much more data on applicants and their high schools. A test score is only one metric. [/quote] Vandy is an interesting case. Pre-TO, Vandy seemed to really, really like high scores, but now seems obsessed with only their published score ranges, and their low score submission rate is getting embarrassing compared to peer schools. Trying to get URMs to apply is only one reason colleges like TO. The other one is yield - statistically, TO applicants are more likely to enroll. In the Vandy example, when score submission rates dropped from 61% (assuming no overlap) for fall 2022 to 51% for fall 2023, yield went from 52% to 57%. There's more to yield changes than just TO, but it seems a likely contributor.[/quote]
