will no longer require undergraduate applicants to submit standardized test scores, making it the first Ivy League school to permanently go test-optional.New York City-based collegeThe initial move to temporarily drop the requirement came shortly after the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 – an initiative made by many higher-education universities at that time who have now also made the policy permanent.
"Our review is purposeful and nuanced — respecting varied backgrounds, voices and experiences — in order to best determine an applicant’s suitability for admission and ability to thrive in our curriculum and our community, and to advance access to our educational opportunities,"Columbia said its application is designed to give students"the greatest possible opportunity and flexibility" to fully represent themselves and their academic talents, interests and goals.
Harvard and Princeton have also continued theirs through the 2025-2026 school year. Dartmouth, Brown and Yale have yet to make a decision.Admission statistics released last March showed the university received 60,377 applications for the 2022-2023 school year and admitted 2,253 students – resulting in an applicant acceptance rate of 3.73%.
