New article in the Atlantic by Jeff Selingo

I believe Caltech won’t extend its three-year moratorium on testing either. It went test blind two years ago because it didn’t think it was fair to treat different applicants differently if some could submit test scores while others couldn’t (Caltech’s overriding philosophy is that no one should take unfair advantage of anyone else). Even though test scores play a very marginal role, they still serve as a useful confirmation and help speed up processing of applications.
