The Test-Optional Policies and Equitable Admissions Project is an explanatory, sequential mixed methods research project that examines the enrollment trends of Black, Latinx/e, Indigenous, Asian, and students from low-income backgrounds and unearths the consequence of test-optional. Findings from this study inform broader admissions practices and their relationship to historically excluded student persistence and retention. This study was funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and a cross-institutional effort with the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC). You can meet test-optional research partners and engage with their findings here.
