[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With Princeton finally changing, he only Test Optional schools left in the T10/ivy group:

Northwestern
Columbia
Duke

Makes those three look pretty desperate for apps.

I predict Duke and NU change to required next. Columbia has too many other issues that risk matriculation of true ivy quality kids; they will wait until 2029 or later and will exempt GS applicants[/quote]

I know NU won't right now. They have pressure for revenue sports recruiting and are now getting basketball players they would have NEVER gotten before. One was announced last week and its a GIANT coup.

Duke is quite happy as well given their carolinas commitment. Scores are signficantly lower there and they don't want to bring down the averages.
I'd assume Vanderbilt is VERY happy with their football team right now.

Schools with real sports shouldn't have to have scores for recruited athletes. Winning teams transform and complete a college experience. [/quote]

Agree re Northwestern.

That's why the discussions by the bored tiger moms on here are so lame. They don't understand how revenue sports drive $$$ for BIG10, SEC or ACC. Not sure why (maybe they themselves didn't go to college in the US) - but a competitive sports program is a huge draw - especially today for socially extroverted kids who want a work hard, play hard atmosphere. Better than the Ivies (Princeton's problems with suicide), where the library is the social outlet.

Let schools do what they want. I'm quite okay if some schools come out and say they'll stay TO because it helps with athletic recruiting, and they want to invest in a true collegiate experience.[/quote]

You make it sound like TR somehow makes it difficult to recruit, or there's no true collegiate experience in TR schools.  [/quote]

Np:

What top 25 schools that are test required have competitive power conference athletics?[/quote]

None?
Stanford?

But they’re not very good anymore in revenue sports.
