Candidates stunned by the SAT/ACT policy to study in the US in 2023

Universities in the US have caused confusion for candidates when the policy on SAT / ACT scores changed dramatically, such as Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT.

About three-quarters of colleges across the United States do not require standardized tests because of the Covid-19 epidemic and results from the SAT and ACT are unnecessary. However, Massachusetts Institute of Technology MIT and Georgia Institute of Technology have now implemented plans to require candidates to have SAT and ACT scores for the following year.

Furthermore, all eight Ivy League schools do not require candidates to submit SAT/ACT scores for at least next year, but Duke University has yet to announce its plans.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology requires SAT/ACT next year

Meanwhile, other schools continue to delay and some schools give candidates the right to submit or not. The California CalTech Institute of Technology will not review the results for at least another year. Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts is also running an eight-year pilot for zero-grade admissions.

The confusion between university policy is confusing candidates, whether they should take the exams, and if so, whether they should submit their scores.

MIT admissions director Stuart Schmill says he’s bringing the tests back because they help the school determine who is academically well prepared for the math-heavy curriculum, helping to categorize students and identify candidates who cannot afford expensive language courses.

Last year, Georgia’s university system said it would require test scores for students who applied for admission in the fall of 2022 but then canceled it. However, the school has yet to announce a policy for next year’s applicants. Meanwhile, the University of North Carolina system recently decided to make the SAT/ACT optional until the fall of 2024. Montana, Colorado, Illinois, Washington, and Iowa have all permanently dropped their testing requirements. their survey of the past year for public universities.
