[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For class of 2028 enrolled students score submission
Williams,35% SAT, 15% ACT
Amherst 39% SAT, 22% ACT

They may want to go back to test required, but that's a little jump from these numbers. Hard to say.

Williams 25th percentile now is 1500, back when tests were required it was 1430. Amherst 25th percentile is now 1500, back when tests were required it was 1410.[/quote]

They will remain TO because they want the flexibility. Amherst was 21% FGLI this year, 35% recruited athletes. Test required doesn't allow them to build the classes they want. Everyone knows if you're unhooked and not an institutional priority, you need to submit the scores though.[/quote]

So only non-URM, middle and upper class applicants are “required” to submit test scores.  That’s quite a double standard! Don’t like Trump but hope he takes a wrecking ball to LACs like he’s doing with the big boys.[/quote]

You're an idiot, but that is ok you be you. The LACs hold all of the cards against Trump. Unlike the top universities they actually don't need any Federal money. Federal money typically makes up about 3% of the budget at the top LACs. It's nice but not needed.[/quote]

You're the idiot, and rude-a** f***wad.  When the Administration decides to condition an institution's eligibility to participate in the federal student aid programs on their being test required, then you'll see who "holds all the cards."  No testing required, ok then, no Pell Grants or federally backed loans for your students.[/quote]
