Just a note here - The behavioral assessment request is likely a selection pilot, given it was not present at the first deadline. Anyone tasked with iterating on a truly data-driven selection model will perform selection pilots. In all likelihood, it does not factor into admission, and they will look at the assessment data for those who are ultimately admitted in concert with a performance metric (like performance in the Year 1 core curriculum, for instance) to see if there are patterns, and then they will make a determination if they want to introduce the assessment in subsequent seasons. Very normal, nothing to stress over!
