[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They want the appearance of being a rigorous selective institution, and being TO allows them to do this. In reality, many students at these schools have low scores. [/quote] NO, just no[/quote] Why do you say no? It’s true at almost all selective colleges now. Why wouldn’t it also be true at these schools? TO obscures low test scores. I’m afraid your bias is clouding your judgement. [/quote] No bias, test required would have done noting but benefit my kids given the lowest scoring one had a 1560. I'm in favor of testing but the idea that TO is somehow letting in a huge number of 'unqualified' kids is just wrong.[/quote] +1, test optional holds the students who were the schools previous 25-50 percentile band. People completely miss that TO changed average scores so much that some schools are seeing their previous 50th percentile scores land lower than their current 25th percentile.[/quote]
