[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]test optional was a failed experiment[/quote]

it wasn't an experiment it was due to testing centers closing during the pandemic[/quote]

some experiments arise out of necessity[/quote]

I think test optional doesn't make sense for the most selective and most popular institutions.  But for  others I think it still makes sense to let students present themselves with the information they feel most reflects their strengths.  I think it should go back to how it was pre-Covid--with some institutions being test optional and with going test optional being a relative rarity rather the decision to go optional becoming a sort of overall game theory type decision for all students.[/quote]

Why not for "most selective" or popular institutions?  Each school is free to decide how best to select applicants.  Most selective schools have been telling us for decades that test scores are NOT the most important factor in selection, and they still won't be.  [/quote]
