The Future of College Admissions Testing: A View from the Inside

  • March 01, 2023
  • 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM
  • Tyree Institute, Wolcott College Prep, online

Join us for a conversation about universities' current policies and practices relating to standardized tests:

  • Why standardized tests were designed and whether they are effective?
  • Why are some schools still considering test results and others are not?
  • What is different about the review of an application with a test score than one without?
  • Which students benefit most from test-required policies? Which students benefit most from test-optional/test-blind policies?
  • Will a student be disadvantaged by not submitting test scores?
  • Do we anticipate any significant changes to the trends of testing policies?
  • What do testing requirements mean: required/flexible/optional/blind?
