There's definitely some of that. I know of Michigan and Purdue accepteees staying home. I mean that's another price sensitivity thing. If you're unsure if you're going to get aid out of state at say Michigan, you're basically looking at 60k a year.

I can also tell you that I know a pile of really good kids that didn't get into OSU. Including kids that never got a grade other than an A. (My current conspiracy theory is "test optional" doesn't mean they aren't using AP scores in some cases)

That said, I am paying 10K a year more for my kid to go to Ohio State compared to OU, and if she wasn't in a professional degree program we'd probably have had a serious conversation about the comparative value.

Purdue is pretty identical to us in selectivity. tsun is obviously a notch higher, so if we're keeping kids from the dark side, that's great. I think the test optional era won't be long lived. If the Yales and Penns of the world are going back to mandatory test scores, it'll eventually filter down to the Ohio States and Wisconsins of the world.

We were basically told to expect the test to be required for this year and prepared accordingly. Then it wasn't.

And I don't know if she submitted her score or not, honestly.

Go to a branch or Columbus State for 2-years and then transfer to a state school.
