[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Michigan is in a very different category than the top schools. It is a large public that serves the citizens of Michigan. It historically has lower SAT scores than the top schools. It isn't meant to be an elite college. Keeping TO is their attempt at reaffirming their identity. [b]You'll see the selective privates, based on data that SAT's predict performance, rely more on the SAT.[/b] The public colleges, UC's, Michigan, Purdue, Indiana, Penn State having a different mission will be test optional. I think that this will serve to shunt more and more top kids with strong stats into the most selective schools, to the detriment of the publics at the top end. [/quote] Except for Cornell, Columbia, Harvard, Northwestern, and others that are still TO. Everyone is trying to see some trend toward requiring tests or looking for a pattern. There is no shift, and there is no pattern. Each school is deciding what it needs to do to make admissions work for them individually. [/quote]
