\"Stetson<\/a>After the current 2014-15 admission cycle, Kalamazoo College will no longer require ACT or SAT standardized test scores to be part of a prospective student\u2019s application. The change will affect students applying for enrollment in fall 2016.<\/p>\n

The change makes K part of a growing trend in higher education called \u201ctest optional\u201d admission. More than 800 colleges and universities in the country admit students without regard to test scores, including a substantial number of highly-ranked national liberal arts colleges. Kalamazoo College would be the first elite liberal arts college in Michigan to join the movement.<\/p>\n

\u201cAdmission to K always has been \u2014 and will continue to be \u2014 very selective,\u201d says Dean of Admission and Financial Aid Eric Staab<\/strong>. \u201cAdmission is determined by various factors that express a student\u2019s qualities and abilities and likelihood to thrive at K,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

According to Staab, these factors include high school grade point average, academic rigor of the high school curriculum, the application essay, participation in co-curricular activities, and letters of recommendation.<\/p>\n

\u201cStudents may continue to submit test scores as additional information,\u201d said Staab, \u201cbut for students applying to enroll at K in 2016, test scores will no longer impact the admission decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Studies show that standardized test scores have little broad predictive value for undergraduate success. A two-year study by Kalamazoo College supports that finding. The study, completed by faculty and staff members serving on K\u2019s Admission and Financial Aid Committee (AFAC), looked at data from the four classes that matriculated to K from 2009 through 2012 for correlations between academic performance at K and the admission factors, including standardized test scores.<\/p>\n

According to Staab, high school GPA was the best and most consistent predictor of academic performance at K across race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic categories. Scores on standardized tests tend to correlate with family income and may say more about an applicant\u2019s economic advantages \u2014 or disadvantages \u2014 than about academic potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven that studies have found a correlation between income and test scores, it seems unfair to use test scores in the admission process,\u201d Staab said.<\/p>\n

Staab said he and others at the College expect the test-optional change to have no effect on the quality of students who will constitute future incoming classes. The College will conduct follow-up research to measure the performance of the new test-optional approach, as well as its possible effects on first-year GPA, retention and graduation rate, areas of study, and \u201cfirst destination\u201d data (a.k.a. employment, graduate school, or other) after graduation.<\/p>\n

Kalamazoo College Associate Professor of Biology Ann Fraser<\/strong>, who served as the AFAC study\u2019s principal investigator, said \u201cK\u2019s research suggests that test scores were telling us very little regarding a student\u2019s potential for success at K, and that high school GPA and curriculum rigor were predicting better and perhaps more fairly. We believe the change will attract students who may not do well on standardized tests but who tend to think outside the box. And that prospect can be very exciting for the College.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her colleagues on the Kalamazoo College faculty agreed. The test optional change was approved by a large majority of the College\u2019s faculty in November 2014. K joins the growing ranks of test-optional colleges, including Bates, Beloit, Bowdoin, Denison, Earlham, Middlebury, and others.
