[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Except for a few top names, they will all move in this direction.

Our school CCs have been telling us this is where the wind was blowing for awhile. University leaders and faculty and board want this. Individual AOs were happy with TO because it made their judgment more important and gave them a lot of pride in the art of their job of picking and shaping a class. AOs liked the individual discretion, but other senior admin did not.

MMhmm. Our CCO called TO fake for top schools back in the summer of 2022, for anyone applying from private schools, and said it would be rolling back to required from what they were hearing, and once the big guns went back to required all top schools would. They saw a negative impact with TO for the senior class of 2022 and some schools admitted "off the record" they wanted them. They were right. Writing was on the wall. Princeton is just late getting on board. What other top10/ivy is still TO? Maybe JHU? Are any others? [/quote]

I think the LACs that want to be taken seriously as alternatives to Ivy+/top25 will need to increase the number of people submitting SAT scores. Right now, most are only around 40% submitting. I think CMC did some research where they admitted TO the past several years but found that while only 35% submitted scores, 85% actually took the test so they asked for them post-admittance and have been tracking how the students were doing. They since voted (faculty and board) to go back to requesting scores so I suspect they found there were issues with the quality of the classes they've been admitting during the pandemic years.[/quote]
