Real chances at an ivy (or similar) without test scores

It looks like 57% of Pomona admits submitted test scores, so not sure that’s a great TO college.

I’m not sure either, I guess, but 43% admitted TO in the first year of TO sounds pretty good to me. I expect we’d need more data to draw much of conclusion, and I don’t think Pomona has released their application data yet. Below are some stats from other schools provided by @Data10:
