ABSTRACT
COVID-19 and the changes left in its wake have impacted the college landscape from all angles such as research, planning, visiting, applying, and even attending and living on campus. One of the biggest changes coming out of the pandemic and changing the college landscape is test-optional admissions. Many colleges have taken permanent residency on the test-optional list, attracting many students to apply to colleges to which they were formerly most apt not to apply, since scores are now no longer considered.
