[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some of us have been saying this for 2 years, test optional is for institutional priorities and tests still matter for everyone else.  At the most selective schools.

Schools that are truly test optional include usc, Tulane and NE.[/quote]

Vanderbilt.[/quote]

Not sure about that, Vandy seems to follow the pack and as other schools say they prefer test scores, I expect them to follow.[/quote]

~40% of [b]accepted[/b] Vanderbilt applicants in last cycle went TO.

If that's following the pack, then TO will be a fixture going forward across most schools,  including the elite ones.

It’s only in the last few months that admissions officers at elite schools have publicly stated that test scores are preferred.(other than MIT) Wouldn’t know if Vandy is following until results from next cycle or two.  Obviously detrimental to school reputation if staying loose on test optional when other elites tightening up.  And Vandy very much wants to be thought of as elite.[/quote]

Yes they are now saying this out loud but some of us suspected it long before. [/quote]
