I spent the first week of December on a whirlwind tour of Virginia colleges with stops at Roanoke College, Virginia Tech, Washington and Lee, the University of Virginia, Richmond and William and Mary.
The flood of colleges switching to test optional and “test flexible” admissions began as a trickle in 1969 when Bowdoin became the first college in the U.S. to make the submission of standardized test scores optional. Now, almost fifty years later, over 1000 colleges and universities have followed Bowdoin down the test-optional path.
