Ep. 216 | Yale goes back to test-required. Anyone else?

Uncategorized Feb 28, 2024

In today's episode, I discuss how Dartmouth's recent decision to return to a test-required policy for the SAT/ACT has influenced other schools.

As I predicted last week, Yale has now returned to a test-required policy as well. They call their policy test-flexible.

Columbia has gone in the opposite direction and proudly announced that they are making their test-optional policy permanent.

Harvard and Cornell are kicking the can down the road for another year and keeping test-optional in place.

University of California schools still refuse to accept any test scores (test-blind).

What is going on here?

What does any of this mean?

What should my child do?
