Ep. 118 | Winners & Losers With Test-optional Policies

Show Notes: In this episode, I break down who benefits the most (and least) from test-optional policies. With Harvard's recent announcement to extend their test-optional policy for another four years, it appears that this trend may become permanent. Who will be the winners and losers? I think you'll be surprised by the answers.         0:01:39 First impressions   0:02:50 Who benefits most?   0:03:30 Hooked students   0:04:50 Non-hooked, super-qualified students   0:08:23 Lazy students   0:10:15 Super-motivated students   0:12:00 Overwhelmed parents   0:13:00 Who benefits the least?   0:14:19 The real losers   0:15:50 In general, all students   0:18:07 Review of winners   0:19:30 Review of losers   Follow us: Enroll in PrepWell Academy Follow on Instagram Follow on Facebook If you want to support the show, here are three immediate steps to take.   Subscribe to the podcast where ever you listen to podcasts Follow me on Instagram or Facebook Give us a review Share this episode with a friend Join our mailing list Enroll your 9th or 10th grader in the program Podcast Host: PrepWell Academy's Founder, Phil Black, has spent a lifetime cracking the code on the world's most competitive programs: Yale University, Harvard Business School, Navy SEALs, Goldman Sachs, Entrepreneurship, Shark Tank (2X), etc.   Inside PrepWell Academy, Black teaches students everything they need to know about the college admissions process in a series of expertly-timed, 3-5-minute, weekly training videos starting in 9th grade and continuing through 12th grade [Note: this program can only be joined in 9th or 10th grade].
