The measures of the incoming class for test scores were not noticeably higher than previous cycles. Which is odd to me. I would have expected that in era of Test Optional, only people with higher scores were submitting them, driving up the measure.

During test optional period, GPA has gone up. Which is predictable but also, I think, a sign that they need to go back using standardized testing.

BTW, it is pretty widely accepted that NOT using standardized test scores has made admissions LESS diverse, both on income and race basis. Turns out, wealthy white kids are able to get great grades (even more so than they can get great test scores) relative to non-wealth/non-white kids.
