TL;DR Summary

Harvard College has announced a surprise reversal of its test-optional admissions policy, reinstating the requirement for standardized testing beginning with the Class of 2029. This decision comes after facing criticism and pressure from peer institutions. The move has sparked both support and criticism, with some experts suggesting that requiring standardized test scores could help increase diversity in the student body, while student organizations and others have expressed concerns about the impact on low-income and minority students. Applicants for the Class of 2029 will now need to submit SAT or ACT scores, with limited time before application deadlines.
