@one1ofeach I’m currently applying to BS but my two brothers and both parents all attended. That zoom was one of my interviews with a school and I asked how the test-optional thing would be handled; and if you’d end up negatively impacted.
The interviewer pretty much said that someone with high scores will be more likely to get in just because they know that they will succeed at their school and this was for Andover so I could see where they’re coming from. I bet they’re doing things for the money because when my brother was in Andover, he saw that they’d do whatever it took to get a lot more money. And even so, a college will do the fees for money and to pay for the AOs to review; I’d assume that the same would go for a BS.
