Alternate theory: Colleges are re-embracing the SAT now (including Harvard's strange late reversal), because the inevitable drop in diversity that results from using them can be blamed on the SCOTUS ruling instead of the tests or other things like legacy/donor preferences.
Princeton's attempt to justify keeping legacy preferences is an embarrassing self-own that provides a clear argument for getting rid of them.

When calling our office to talk about your student's negative admission decision, it is probably best to not insult the entire group of students we did admit, the admissions office or the entire university while using profanity. Just a suggestion.
From UGA: “For the 2024 class, the biggest academic factors were still a student’s grades and course rigor, as these [not test scores] are the ***best*** indicators of future success in the UGA classroom.” (My emphasis and parenthetical.)

Yale, which just last week apologized for its role in slavery, brought back the SAT after having two record years of African-American enrollment in its first-year class (2023 not yet available in IPEDS). #EMTalk <Kermit drinking tea gif>

As I've said before, enrollment is complicated, and we're dealing with a lot of 17-year-olds whose prefrontal cortices are not quite fully developed. To overlay your experience, let alone your biases, might not be appropriate.
Institutions that provide the best ROI for low-income students often enroll the smallest proportion of low- and moderate-income students.
Between 3-7 people have asked why I don’t do this anymore, so, here: I love the talks I put out over many years as the result of easily hundreds of hours of work. I sought to figure out stuff I was curious about & let y’all in on it. This was my personal Masters in Higher Ed 🧵
Thread: The testing battle. Google, of course feeds you things on the topics you read about. So on my phone, the Google app sends me lots of articles about standardized testing, whether the SAT or ACT.
The test-optional movement is taking a beating this year, as Caltech and Harvard swing back to requiring test scores. This follows Brown, Dartmouth, Yale, and UT Austin, among others. Is the UNC System, including UNC Chapel Hill and NC State, next? Stay tuned.
And another one....perhaps a surprise since CalTech made a big deal of going test free.

This is how the director of admissions at Georgetown talked about admissions to the WaPO in 1979. P.S. He's still the director of admissions at Georgetown.
@iosif_lazaridis @torkihobe If the College Board's own validity studies don't convince you, I'm not sure what I can tell you that's going to change your mind.
And, if you keep spouting the BS about how you can't find talented and capable first-gen, or low-income, or students of color without the SAT, you're either a) lazy, b) lying, or c) just not looking hard enough. Let's offer the benefit of the doubt and say it's c).
This is the one thing every admissions officer wishes every student (and especially parents) understood about selective admissions.
Since 2000, the number of applications to the 67 most selective colleges in the nation has tripled to nearly 2 million a year. That's why a "wall of 5's" on AP exams doesn't move the needle like it used to at Duke. My latest for @NYMag nymag.com/intelligencer/…
The Common Data Set has an interesting new data point: Early Action enrollments. That in combination with ED admits gives us a clearer view of how some college run admissions and how much it puts students who don't apply early at a disadvantage at these colleges.
Glad to see this new data point, but disheartened by how some colleges are using application systems that likely put people not in the know at a major disadvantage.
In other words, test-optional worked too well.
@jayphoward @erichoov And colleges are of course within their rights to refuse to disclose admit rates for apps w/ vs w/o scores. I’ve been saying publicly for 4 years that those discrepancies tend to be more correlative than causal in nature. Either disclose and make that case, or refuse to disclose.
College says it’s “unable” to share total number of applications it has received to date. I love that word choice.
