"UT Austin Reinstates Standardized Test Requirement for Admissions"
The University of Texas at Austin will reinstate the requirement for applicants to submit standardized test scores starting with the fall 2025 enrollment, citing the value of standardized testing in identifying student performance and fit for majors. This decision follows a period of test-optional admissions due to the COVID-19 pandemic. UT-Austin's move aligns with other universities, including Brown, Yale, Dartmouth, and Georgetown, that have also reversed test-optional policies. The university also introduced an early action process for fall 2025 applicants and continues to grant automatic admission to top 6% high school graduates while using a holistic process for other applicants, which includes considering standardized test scores.
