Schools like this will never go back to test-required because to do so would simply be embarrassing.

Google says that Bucknell's discount rate is 35%, and Trinity's is 44 to 56%.


That's need-based aid. We're talking about whether they give merit aid to full-pay families. They don't, much.


According to Google, those numbers combine need-based AND merit aid.


According to their latest reported Common Data Sets, both Bucknell and Trinity give approximately $20k on average to roughly 20% of non-need kids. 20% of non-need kids is only about 10% of the total student population. And $20k off of a $90k Cost of Attendance isn't much.
