[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]95% will STILL get rejected.

Yawn.[/quote]
Maybe more like 90% now[/quote]

Average of last 10+ classes acceptance rates suggests otherwise.

Application numbers dropping will help rate.[/quote]

In the first year, without TO, they may drop. But within a year or two, they will go back up again, when people realize that Harvard does, and always hasm accepted students with 1400 SATs. Strong students will get admitted with those scores and more eligible students will apply. [b]TO kept so many qualifed students from applying[/b] that the student bodies just aren't of the quality they were before TO--and no, not because "stupid" kids with low scores who hid them were admitted, but because the admissions committee no longer had as broad a pool to choose from. Again, it's been said here many times, by many posters, reinstating test-required does not benefit the rich, white Yorktown HS kid with the 1530 whose mom thinks didn't get in only because a TO kid took her spot.[/quote]

TO hasn’t kept ANYONE from applying these past few yrs - applications have exploded at the top 50 schools. It’s ridiculous. [/quote]
