That’s a good question. I don’t see how they can remove the requirement. They have to “limit” the number awarded, since it’s based on a budgeted amount of money.
They may allow folks to take the test, next spring (2021). Passed the date required for admissions, but still in time for determining BF requirements in the fall of 2021.
This yr they were actually planning on increasing the test score requirements for each level of BF. Last yr / this yr 1290 was the minimum for top category. Next yr it goes up to 1310 (I believe).
So now they are considering not needing it? Highly unlikely. No way the state budget could handle that unless they lowered the amount given to everyone.
It’s 1330 now for the top level. My guess is they will do some sort of choice. If you have the scores it’s status quo or if you don’t have scores they will majorly increase the GPA requirements. They need to make sure that more people don’t qualify.
