"Yale Reinstates Standardized Test Requirement for Admissions"

Yale University will require standardized test scores for admission for students applying to enter in the fall of 2025, citing potential harm to students from lower-income families under test-optional policies. The new policy will be "test flexible," allowing students to submit subject-based Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate test scores in place of SAT or ACT scores. This decision follows a similar move by Dartmouth College and MIT, but contrasts with the majority of institutions that have maintained test-optional policies as the pandemic waned.
