Description
The pandemic helped expose weaknesses in the realm of education assessment. Many universities are now test-optional and are seeking other indicators of rigor in the context of a transcript. The number of Cambridge schools is growing in the U.S, especially in the public school sector. Each is the academic home to diverse, well-prepared students. Enrollment leaders from a public flagship and a liberal arts college will highlight new opportunities for recruiting Cambridge students to your campus.
