SAT Optional
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts is the latest college to make the SAT and ACT optional. Officials cited concerns over racial and socio-economic bias in standardized tests. Here are the details.
I don’t expect UGA or any other large, popular 4-year colleges in Georgia to go that route, but I was surprised by the number and variety of universities that don’t require a standardized test score. An organization called FairTest publishes a list here.
For students anxious about their test scores not reflecting their ability, one of these schools might be a good option.
Should the SAT or ACT be used in college admission?
