[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the upside of requiring scores? The number of applications go down, their average SAT scores go down, and they have a harder time admitting certain kids they want. The biggest benefit to SLACs of TO are their recruited athletes (not URM, as someone here is assuming). Some kids test well; others do not. Some spend thousands to prep; others cannot. The SAT/ACT is one data point, and can be more easily manipulated than GPA.[/quote]

+1 The test required zealots are so thirsty. They just can’t accept when any TO applicant is admitted to a selective school over Larlo and their 1500+. Why would these schools, given the current college admissions landscape, do anything to limit applications. Especially with the pending lawsuit challenging the practice of ED, most schools will not be looking to give up the flexibility that TO provides. This test required wave isn’t coming.

The ED lawsuit id going to go nowhere, there is no harm. But I agree that the top SLACs aren't in a rush to go back to testing. They have no need to when they can get as many kids as they want with stats equal to anyone.[/quote]
