Both Princeton University and Yale University have joined other Ivy League institutions and announced they will continue to use a test-optional admission policy at least through fall, 2023 admissions.
Citing the hurdles students have had to overcome due to the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic and the continuing disruptions to coursework and the lack of access to the ACT and SAT, will continue to operate in a test optional environment for first-year applicants applying during the 2022-23 cycle for Princeton’s Class of 2027.”
It assured students that if they opted to “apply to Princeton without an ACT or SAT will not be at a disadvantage in our process. We will continue with a holistic evaluation of each application and will continue to assess testing requirements for students applying after next year’s cycle.” According to Schaefer, with their recent decisions, Princeton and Yale are joining more than 1,500 other U.S. colleges and universities in not requiring fall 2023 applicants to submit ACT or SAT results. More than 1,800 schools are test-optional for 2022 admissions. He called the announcements “ a recognition that test-optional policies have become the ‘new normal’ in undergraduate admissions.”
Schaefer continued, “Consistent with the track-records of other schools that do not require test scores, we expect that Yale and Princeton will experience more applicants, better academically qualified applicants, and more diversity of all sorts in their applicant pools. For teenagers considering these and other premier schools the policy extensions will be reassurance that they will be evaluated as ‘more than a score.
