Yes, Bowdoin requires test scores from athletes for pre-reads and ED apps…of course, there could be exceptions, especially if we look back over many years…but that is their process. I imagine there are TO schools that allow recruited athletes to truly be test optional.
Some test optional schools, including Bowdoin, require all matriculants to submit official test scores (even those who applied test optional)…so on the CDS those test scores would be representative of all students.
