[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]More unique applicants are applying to selective schools, schools they would not have applied to under a tests-required scenario. And some portion of those will get admitted (presumably the ones with discordance in the direction of higher gpa/lower scores).[/quote]

But they can only take up one seat, so there is a corresponding opening somewhere else.[/quote]
The test optional applicant who wouldn't have applied two years ago would have otherwise attended less selective school.[/quote]

Sigh.... you think Adcoms are stupid?  You think they can't tell who they want?

You know that the top schools have said for years that they could throw out their first class, admit a second, then do it again with a third and there would be no noticeable distinction between them?

You think top kids who otherwise have gone to an Ivy will now be banished to state directional because of test optional?

You have no idea, it is complete speculation, and you are helping no one with your tinfoil hat theories.  Please stop.[/quote]
