An
Ultra-Selective University Just Dropped the ACT/SAT. So What? |
by ERIC
HOOVER - The Chronicle of Higher Education | Pub: 06/20
|
On Thursday, the University of Chicago announced that it would no longer require the ACT/SAT for admission,
becoming the most-selective institution ever to adopt a test-optional policy. With that, the South Side campus caused an admissions-obsessed planet to wobble. Several deans and college counselors predict that the move will soon prompt other high-profile colleges
to abandon their testing requirements. At the very least, the national conversation about testing has changed, probably for good.
