Our school CCs have been telling us this is where the wind was blowing for awhile. University leaders and faculty and board want this. Individual AOs were happy with TO because it made their judgment more important and gave them a lot of pride in the art of their job of picking and shaping a class. AOs liked the individual discretion, but other senior admin did not.

Chicago, Columbia, and Vandy will stick to TO.  [/quote]

You can't be considered elite and highly selective when you don't even require standardized test scores.

You are only trying to get your 'false' selectivity rate, appear tougher to get in then you really are.[/quote]

+1 in the pre-2000s, selectivity meant you had to have very high test scores and very high GPA (no inflated). It's why most kids did not apply to Ivies. They didn't have the bottom line score so did not bother. That is what changed. Hopefully, we go back to having more merit based indicators again. In this age of poor teaching in the vast majority of American schools and unprepared students for college rigor--test scores matter as all of the studies in the past 5 years have shown.[/quote]
