[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Scripps is a great place to apply if you have poor SAT scores. I am not saying that as a negative.  It doesn't attract high SAT scorers for some reason.  Fewer than 20 students a year even enroll at Scripps with SAT scores that are in that Ivy sweet spot of 1530.[/quote]

True and Pitzer is fully test blind.

The others (CMC/Pomona/Harvey Mudd) I think will return to test required soon. CMC has already announced it will. Pomona will likely be next.

But you're right, Scripps (if you're female) and Pitzer are both wonderful test optional ways to access the fabulous 5C consortium and all their many resources![/quote]
Pomona admissions has doubled down that it is permanently test optional. Look elsewhere.[/quote]

They voted to make TO "permanent" in 2023. Given how fast the conversation on testing is changing and new info is coming to light as well as whispers I've heard from the inside, I do think that will change. Not overnight but they can vote to change that as others have. CMC voted to extend their TO status in early 2024 only to sharply reverse it a few months later that same year. It will be test required in either 2027 or 2028 now.[/quote]
They’ve renewed the commitment to permanent to in last weeks aspc meeting. I cannot send it to non Pomona families, but there’s no reality where Pomona is discussing test required.[/quote]
CMC is more of a niche school, as is Mudd. Pomona won’t go test required: none of WASP has, and none of WASP will.[/quote]
