Excellent video! The world watches as colleges across the nation decide what the testing policies will be for the Class of 2022 and beyond.
All of the college representatives that spoke at LAHS this year (220+) said to various degrees that standardized test scores were just one part of the admission process and their data shows it’s not the best indicator of success and retention for admitted students (GPA is).
Here is a link to a list of test-optional colleges: https://www.nacacnet.org/news–publications/newsroom/test-optional-means-test-optional/
And on the LAHS CCC site w/ college advising handbook and tons of other resources: https://sites.google.com/mvla.net/lahsccc/home
Keep up the good work!
