chiguirre Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 We talked about Idaho sending admission letters to all qualified high school seniors a while ago. Today there's an article in the WaPo about it: https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/congratulations-you-got-into-college-without-even-applying/2020/03/14/588dabec-63f0-11ea-845d-e35b0234b136_story.html?utm_campaign=wp_first_reads&utm_medium=email&utm_source=newsletter&wpisrc=nl_rainbow&wpmm=1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plansrme Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I love that the guy actually tried to fill out his own school's application; more vendors should do that! But this is not entirelynew. I got into my undergraduate alma mater (Auburn) without ever applying, and this was back in the mid-80s; I put them down on my ACT registration to get my scores, and they sent me a "congratulations, you're admitted" letter. I decided on them shortly thereafter and never actually applied to any of the schools I had been considering. But I can certainly see why it is effective; everyone wants to be wanted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJosMom Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 It doesn't apply to homeschoolers. In fact, ISU purports to require homeschoolers to take both the SAT and the ACT. 🤨 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
