Ivy League schools use standardized tests?
Or is it just an initial filter?
I always assumed they invite you and test you on various topics for a couple of days.

Pretty sure nobody invites you on campus and tests you themselves for undergrad - that's the whole point of the standardized tests; they test you for the colleges. There's an application process and they look at more than grades and test scores, but most schools have some sort of minimums. I know that the state schools here in Texas (at least back when I was applying) would take your class rank and assign a minimum test score to that. So if you were top 1/4th of your class, you could have a lower test score than if you were in the 3rd quartile, etc.
But it was all still just a minimum requirement and not a guarantee of admission.

I think some of the more advanced colleges required Achievement Test scores as well (on at least 3 different subjects). More standardized tests, but topic specific (English, Chemistry, etc etc)

How can you drop the Don West nugget with no further explanation?

Did you know him already?

He may have been my favorite person to lynch of all time and I really can't explain why.
