Dartmouth + Yale End Test-Optional: What Does it Mean?
In the last few weeks, both Dartmouth and Yale have decided to end the test-optional policies they adopted during the height of COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020. The idea behind making schools test-optional in the first place was to accommodate students who suddenly found themselves unable to take the ACT or SAT because, well, everything was shut down. While some more progressive schools had adopted test-optional policies years (sometimes decades) prior, the first school of the Ivy League to adopt their own test-optional policy was Cornell, and all the other Ivies (and Ivy-adjacent top-tier schools) quickly followed.
