"Dartmouth Reinstates SAT and ACT Requirements for Admissions Post-Pandemic Pause"
TL;DR
Dartmouth College will reinstate the requirement for applicants to submit standardized test scores, starting with the class of 2029, after making test scores optional in 2020 due to the pandemic. A study conducted by the college found that test scores could benefit less advantaged students and help bring in students from high schools without a track record of sending students to Dartmouth. This decision challenges the criticism that standardized tests disadvantage students from marginalized backgrounds, and comes amid a broader movement to make test requirements optional at colleges and universities across the U.S.
