Uh Mini:
At a parent/counselor session at my Daughter’s highly ranked high school, they said that the single sex schools especially like Smith, are so unpopular these days they have to do what they can to attract students, hence optional SATs. Goucher had the same problem even when they went a tiny bit coed. Somehow, SATs still are used at the TOP schools, like all of the Ivies. Wonder why Mini. Cause they want da smart kids, maybe?? (: The Washington Post article said AU is using SAT admission ONLY for ED kids to sweeten the deal to attract full paying committed students. I guess you are in denial that they are trying increase revenue, not obtain a high quality student base. Your assessment of their bond portfolio is negligent. What are the endowment investments, real estate investments,etc…? Does someone owe them money??? etc?
