Chloe got a full-ride offer to UNC Everyone said full-ride offers were off the table if you apply test-optional, they were wrong. Good day for the admissions support group & thank you to @stu_voice for advocating for #testoptionalnow and giving Chloe opportunities to serve

Coming from #admissions, I understand the pull to standardize things. The hard truth is there are no standard #colleges, #highschools, or #students. Students should be admitted for who they are & what they've done. @AngelBPerez via @NACAC #testoptionalnow https://t.co/Jz09ITduiN

@CollegeBoard In a pandemic, where over 1 million people have lost their lives, no student should have to travel to take the SAT...ever. #TestOptionalNow #ByeStandardizedTest

If you're traveling to take this weekend's SAT, it's your responsibility to know and follow any quarantine requirements or travel restrictions in the location where you're testing. Test centers may require proof at check-in that you've done so. https://t.co/bX89BYaW8B

Maybe they should just stop administering standardized testing during a global pandemic 🤔 or maybe just scratch it altogether. #TestOptionalNOW and always

Illinois colleges can’t go back. #testoptionalNOW and always. We also have to investigate how universities are allocating institutional aid - are they still using SAT and ACT? How is that impacting access to higher ed for low-income students and Black and Latinx students?

The University of California System can't use SAT and ACT tests for admissions: "lowest avg scores of SAT came from students with less than $20,000 in family income- highest scores came from those with more than $200,000 in family income" https://t.co/V7dcj3tt3V

"A lot of #admissions offices think they can get a better picture of students from what they have done in high school instead of a three and a half hour test taken on a random Saturday." PREACH. #TestOptionalNow https://t.co/jqy1zRKkOo

Marcus Smart doesn’t have the best stats, he’s not a great shooter, he’s not big, he’s not fast, but everyone wants a Smart. #TestOptionalNow #SAT #Testing

This is an excellent philosophy for hiring talent off the court as well. Hire people who simply want it more than anyone else.

If you had to choose one GIF to describe what the @CollegeBoard and @ACT have been up to these past few months, what would it be? I can't think of one better than this. #TestOptionalNow #admissions

Well, this is some hot garbage. A counselor of ours said one of their domestic students got an ACT testing placement... in KENYA. This bologna needs to end, like yesterday. #TestOptionalNow
