You'll see the selective privates, based on data that SAT's predict performance, rely more on the SAT. The public colleges, UC's, Michigan, Purdue, Indiana, Penn State having a different mission will be test optional.
I think that this will serve to shunt more and more top kids with strong stats into the most selective schools, to the detriment of the publics at the top end.

Might be to push kids in roughly the 1400 range to submit SAT scores. Colleges are increasingly competing on “percent submitting” as well as averages. A kid with a 1420 and a bunch of 5s probably submits their APs when Michigan would rather have the SAT to keep up their profile.
My kid had a 32 ACT and didn't submit (maybe should have) but submitted AP scores this year. She was deferred.
They deferred almost everyone.
