Baldwin-Wallace makes the SAT and ACT college placement tests optional for the freshman class of 2009-2010</p>

<p>The move puts B-W among a growing number of institutions using other factors to decide if a student makes the admissions cut. SAT and ACT scores still will be accepted, but prospective students who think their scores don't reflect their high-school grades can leave out the scores. </p>

<p>For students like Kaitlyn Burke, a high-school senior from Albion, N.Y., who arrived in Berea on Thursday for an overnight visit to B-W, a college search without SAT scores would have been heaven. </p>

<p>"I've taken AP [advanced placement] classes, I've taken college courses," she said. "My grades are good but my SAT score was just average. It put a lot of stress on me to keep taking and taking the test." </p>

<p>With about 3,000 undergraduates, B-W is small enough that the admissions staff can take the time to review essays and take a long look at applicants. Picking students based on individual traits is one factor in the school's decision to go with test-optional admissions, but de-emphasizing testing was a big factor, said Susan Dileno, the school's vice president of enrollment management.

<p>While not optional, many MT programs do not really consider SAT scores, so it doesn't matter that they are "average." Check, though--while CMU places little value on the scores, at Michigan you must first get into the university, and those scores do count in that evaluation. Also, SAT scores may be a factor in scholarship money, much of which is based on academic indicators.</p>

<p>Just to be clear, at U of Michigan, you do not first get into the university. Rather, you go through an academic review in order to be invited to audition. It is like a screening (kinda like if you are in the ballpark academically to be considered for admission). It is not an acceptance to the university.</p>
