In the wake of the 2020 global pandemic, every U.S college and university announced test-optional or test-blind admissions, leading some pundits to predict that the influence of standardized test scores in admissions decisions was over. Based on recent announcements from a suite of public and private schools, nothing could be further from the truth. Amy and Mike invited educator Brian Eufinger to share the state of test-optional admissions in 2024.

What are five things you will learn in this episode?

  1. As of early 2024, what is the state of test-optional admissions?

  2. What is the interplay between grade inflation and post-pandemic admissions policies?

  3. How do students know whether to submit scores or not?

  4. What does the term 'miswithholding' mean?

  5. Will more schools follow Dartmouth and MIT to test mandatory admissions?
