@Sue22:

“I guess some schools that aren’t really serious about being test optional could manipulate their admissions process so that they never take more than 25% of the class TO but that seems like a stretch to me.”

Why a stretch? it’s the logical strategy for a school that is trying to maximize their likelihood of a USNews ranking upgrade, and we know that there are some schools who care deeply about that.
