[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]

Schools used to let in athletes with lower scores in the old days before test optional. I don’t see why this would change now. They just don’t want to drop academic standards for the entire college just so athletes can apply without test scores.[/quote]
