"Not sure why, having made the decision to change, you'd wait until 2028, but whatever."

Perhaps the fact that some athletic recruiting "commitments" for class incoming in 2027 has something to do with it.

You might be right, sparman.

That's the athletic tail wagging the undergraduate admissions dog, isn't it?

I wonder if an email was circulated among senior Princeton administrators, seeking input about a potential change to requiring SAT scores. And the Tiger AD had to respond, "Uh, seems okay, but can we wait until after we admit [some fantastic running back/point guard/face-off man]?"

The lacrosse recruiting class is mostly already set for all colleges, not just Pr, as the 2027 recruiting start date was September 1. Don't know about other sports.

Fair point.

Princeton should just come clean and say, "We're going to mandatory test scores effective immediately for the high school class of 2027 -- athletes excepted. If you're on a coach's preferred list, don't worry. You're in."

Nah.

For starters, given the discord between application and recruiting years, this only amounts to an 18 month warning. Six months would be really nasty.

Second, whatever applicants have NOT been submitting test scores will now need to get into test prep mode, certainly a two-year effort to do correctly.
