[quote=Anonymous]When are people going to realize that the BOV and the "powers that be" don't care about your junior in high school. They just don't. UVA is a business and a political organization. If the BOV and UVA did care, they would have announced this decision last fall (or earlier) and given students plenty of time to prepare if the decision was going to be go back to test required. UVA and its leadership is absolutely failing by not announcing a decision on a timely basis. The only right decision at this point is to stay test optional for Fall 2026's admissions cycle and, if UVA wants to return to test required, articulate a roadmap for that going forward. As an aside, going back to test required would be a big mistake and run counter to UVA's public statements regarding the importance of the high school transcript as well as the fact that the number of college-aged students will not be working in their favor going forward the next ten years. If UVA wants its application numbers to drop, go back to test required and see what happens. Finally, I just don't see the value in answering the silly questions the College Board asks. Two hours and 15 minutes is not a reflection of who someone is as a student. Stay test optional UVA. It's the right decision.[/quote]
