[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This school is really interested in educating kids and not just boosting its own rankings or profits or random social media reputation. It’s so refreshing to see how seriously they take their mission. [/quote] Isn’t it the opposite? We are the only country in the world that does not have an entrance exam for our most prestigious universities. Why allow test optional other than to lower yield? It makes no sense.[/quote] Agree 100%. At worst, the test scores are another data point, and a valuable one at that. If we're going to make test scores optional, why not make GPAs (which are more subjective!) optional too?[/quote] I’d like to see more examination that has actual conclusions. Apush, Ap Precalc, Ap English Literature, and some AP science scores as a minimum for application. Your private school kid can pay for a few AP exams for college admission, and they should expect a 5.[/quote]
