[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is interesting. Swarthmore was holding out on this decision and "looking at data" (per its admissions office) because first semester grades are pass/fail and they were looking at correlation between scores and grades of incoming students. Just last week they were saying they might require standardized tests for the next admissions cycle, which would have made them the only selective liberal arts school to do so. [b]They've now announced they are test optional, suggesting there is little/no correlation between grades of incoming students who submitted scores and those who didn't.[/b][/quote] No they are saying there is a population cliff and they need to remain competitive in attracting full pay students irrespective of their standardized testing capability.
