How Do Test-optional Policies Impact College Applicants? - The College Explorer

How Do Test-optional Policies Impact College Applicants? Have you ever wondered how colleges decide who gets admitted without relying solely on standardized test scores? In this informative video, we'll explain everything you need to know about test-optional and test-blind policies in college admissions. We'll start by defining what these policies are and how they differ from traditional requirements. We'll discuss how adopting these approaches can make applying to college more accessible, especially for students from lower-income backgrounds, first-generation college applicants, and those from underrepresented communities.

We'll also explore what factors colleges consider when reviewing applications under these policies, such as high school grades, course rigor, personal essays, extracurricular activities, and recommendation letters. Additionally, we’ll explain how test scores are still used when submitted and how some colleges have moved toward test-blind policies, where test scores are not considered at all.
