More on the test-optional directory

The folks at FairTest took issue with my headline for Tuesday's post about the group's directory of colleges and universities that don't require SAT or ACT scores. (See "A useful URL for bad test takers.")

Bob Schaeffer, FairTest's public education director, wrote in an email: "Of course, we'd argue that the list of 'optional' schools is useful for more than just bad test-takers. Many students with good (or even great) ACT/SAT scores apply to these institutions because of the message they send by evaluating a broader portfolio of talents."
