What’s Next for the Test-Optional Movement?

Earlier this year, Yale University (CT)  joined a handful of other Ivy League and highly selective institutions that shed their policies making standardized tests optional for applicants. Other prestigious institutions that have recently reverted back to policies requiring the SAT and ACT include Brown University (RI), Georgetown University (DC), Dartmouth College (NH)  and the University of Texas at Austin. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology reinstated its testing policy in 2022.
