[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Test optional. As other elites pivoted to test required it drive up the number to schools that were still test optional. Most kids can’t hit the scores required at the top schools. [/quote] This. At this point it is a clear marketing strategy. These schools will still attract the prime candidates that they want, but they LOVE being able to compete for the bragging rights of the lowest possible acceptance rate, and the only way they can keep competing for that bragging right is to keep the insane number of applications coming in. So as their peer schools, like the Ivies, start to drop TO and go back to requiring test scores, the kids who want to keep trying for those top schools will all rush send their applications to whatever top schools still offer TO to test their chances. I am thrilled that my 11th graders #1 choice dropped TO as I am hoping that it will help calm this craze.[/quote]
