Is this the new "test optional"? Can we expect others to follow this example?
The University of Chicago has announced that it will allow applicants to self-report their SAT or ACT scores.

It's being done to help low income students, but I'm sure high SES students will be the ones most likely to take advantage of it..
Some items to consider:
% of students with Pell Grants: 11% (Pell Grant enrollment in the bottom 5% of all 4 year colleges)
ACT Middle 50%: 32-35
ACT Score Range (Admitted Students): 22-36
For applicants, there is no minimum GPA or test score requirement. No course load is mandatory
The University of Chicago does not charge an application fee ($75) for students applying for need-based financial aid.
