Subject: Justin Watson Author: Bryan [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 18:29:29 02/22/24 Thu In reply to: Son of Eli 's message, "Yale joins Dartmouth in restoring admissions Testing Requirement" on 09:23:33 02/22/24 Thu Clearly the decisions by Dartmouth and Yale were not based primarily on athletics. But, if other Ivy schools do not follow this lead is it a small, medium or large recruiting detriment compared to other testing optional Ivy schools? (Or is it not a recruiting factor at all?) My first reaction is that it's a minor recruiting disadvantage as there is likely one recruit somewhere who has been admitted to an Ivy school in the last few years who wouldn't have been admitted if the SAT or other submission requirement had been in place.

So to the extent such potential applicants might be athletic recruiting targets, one might argue that requiring SATs will even create some modest recruiting advantage. While I don't question the reason for raising the matter, IMO this is still a purely academic exercise not worth getting worked up over at the moment. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
