TL;DR

Harvard College will require applicants for fall 2025 admission to submit standardized test scores, citing the predictive value of such information for college success and the need to identify talent from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. The decision comes after research showed that standardized tests, when paired with other academic credentials, can help identify promising students at less-well-resourced high schools. The university aims to make the admissions process more meritocratic and increase socioeconomic diversity, while also providing resources for students who may face barriers to testing.
