In today's episode, we sit down with Kelly Dore, Co-founder and VP Science & Innovation at Acuity Insights, and Dr. Alex MacIntosh, Senior Research Manager, also at Acuity Insights, to talk about test-optional admissions. Test-optional admissions came out of the necessity to rethink admissions during the COVID 19 pandemic and while it was originally thought to be a temporary measure, it hasn't gone away. Listen to Kelly and Alex walk us through the advantages, disadvantages, and where the alternatives to this might be.
