[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At the top schools, the tide is very obviously moving away from TO for multiple reasons - college readiness (professors have been vocal in their complaints) as well as further scrutiny  from the new administration.

There’s no longer an excuse to not sit for tests, the data points to their value in the admissions process, and no one is being fooled by omitting scores.

Sure some top schools are still TO but it’s pretty much exclusively for hooked applicants and athletes. [/quote]

This. With a few exceptions (Vandy, not sure who else), schools want scores from upper middle class white kids. [/quote]

These schools are truly TO according to our private IEC. Esp for non-STEM and non-business majors.

However, to work, every other piece of the application must be perfect. No red flags.

UChicago
JHU
Columbia
Vanderbilt 
Notre Dame
Michigan
UCLA
Cal
WashU
UVA

For all its admissions games, UChicago still prefers tests unless from a trusted privateh feeder school, and JHU is now test required.

Notre Dame may be test optional but being Catholic is pretty much required.

UVA and Vanderbilt are subject to increased scrutiny from the current administration and might likely be less generous with their TO admissions this year. [/quote]
