Libby did not say test scores were not considered, only that their influence was less than curriculum attempted and essays. I doubt many students who do well in a tough curriculum and write very good essays score poorly on the SAT or ACT. If they happen to do so, Chicago simply believes the tough curriculum and essays are more predictive than test scores. If one looks at the old “Decisions” threads, one will see 1500+ applicants rejected and many 1300 student accepted. Looks like they mean what they say.
