[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Let's do some calculation.
Penn is reinstating test required this coming year.
Class of 2029, median score is [b]1540[/b].  51% submitting SAT.
Their true median score is probably [b]1490[/b].
That's [b]50 point gap [/b]to make up when they switch to test required.

To maintain their median, Penn can potentially reduce the number of low score admits (previously non-submitters).
However, these are institutional priorities, i.e., hooked.  It's unlikely Penn will reduce too many of them.
The other way to maintain the median score is to increase the test scores of unhooked admits.  [/quote]
What’s their likely median for test requires? 30 points lower would be 1510.[/quote]

It would be good to revisit this thread a year later to look at it in retrospect.

One thing that is certain is that the number of applicants will decrease quite a bit, observed in Brown and Dartmouth cases.  Applicant pool will be rather different.

Dartmouth is able to hold on to a median of 1520.  Penn should be able to do the same or maybe higher.  1520-1530 median would be my guess.  [/quote]
