UVA will take the lead, as usual. The Ivies have already done it.
They can't go test optional without sacrificing their medians
Not true with the elite public and privates. Not at all. UVA receives almost 60,000 apps a year. It's SCHEV median is a 4.4, 34 ACT and a 1470.That's not going to change because the demand for an elite public education at $160k a year compared to private at $400k (USC just passed $96k a year) is only going to increase the interest in top
publics. It's a simple analysis of supply and demand. All of the elite publics are seeing this, especially during covid when many families lost income and had to rethink the cost of higher ed. The next step would be for UVA/the Commknwealth to respond to taxpayers and reduce OOS and international from 26% to less than 8% as Cal, Texas, and N Carolina have done, but so far bills to do exactly that have never made it out of committee
Grammatical errors abound, UVA's medians would drop, no reduction of OOs will come with the cliff

Columbia, Princeton, UPenn, Duke, Rice, Chicago, Vanderbilt are all schools that are much better than UVA that haven't gone TR.
Also... UVA hasn't gone test required (!!!)

Like Amherst and Williams
Why bring up these two schools? Not like they’re peers.

Does anyone have any insight? Do you think they will return to test-required as other schools have? I don't have a strong feeling about this one way or the other. I'm just curious.
They have already said they will announce in January. I am hoping for test required. That will be good news for the 1400+ kids.
1500+ SAT, yes. 1400? won't hurt to submit, but the kids should get that score up for UVA.
