[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There was a huge revolt among faculty at Caltech about TO and this seems to be some system they've come up with to accommodate the faculty (the head of undergraduate admissions was strongly pro-TO). I have the impression from this article that a faculty committee might have come up with the idea. One thing conspicuously missing from this story is the discrepancy between standards for male and female applicants. I feel quite certain those "buckets" are going to work differently depending on the gender of the applicant. [/quote] I think being a small school really helps Caltech in this case. Faculty actually have a say in admissions. They were able to demand admission office to admit qualified applicants. In a larger school I think admission office has more power in setting test requirements. It’s also more difficult to have consensus among faculty. That’s why most ivies remained test optional for an elongated period.[/quote]
