What's the surest way to initiate a heated argument between admissions professionals that boils over?

Take a strong position on the use of test scores in college admissions.

So that's what we're going to do - specifically, focus on the future of test scores.  

As always, we have two great guests to provide insights.

Perry Robinson, Happily Retired School Counselor, and Vice President for Enrollment, and President of Wisconsin ACAC, talks about the history of the test-optional movement, weights test-optional and test-blind policies, and discusses how families are reacting to these changes.

Kristoffer Toribio, Manager of International Admissions at Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa, California, and President of International ACAC, weighs in on the international perspective, the right of passage the tests have become, and the role of tests in the rising direct admissions options.

Any conversation about standardized tests with admissions professionals is interesting, so we hope you enjoy listening to these discussions as much as we enjoyed having them.
