@DoingOurBest I think it’s true.
It looks like these schools are doing the same as Duke which is to accept roughly the same percentage of TO applicants as the percentage of TO who apply.
BostonU: 12% increase in apps for ED1. 75% test optional. 71% admitted w/o scores.
Tufts up 17% ED1, 57% did not submit test scores, 56% admitted w/o scores.
Middlebury: 17% increase in apps ED1, 56% did not submit scores, ~56% admitted w/o scores.
