"Dartmouth College Reinstates SAT Requirement for Admissions"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by CBS Boston
Dartmouth College is reinstating its standardized testing requirement for undergraduate applicants, becoming the first Ivy League school to move away from "test-optional" admissions. The decision is based on evidence suggesting that standardized testing will improve the school's ability to attract promising and diverse students, particularly those from less-resourced backgrounds. While the SAT will be available online and shorter, Dartmouth emphasizes that test scores will not be the primary factor in its "holistic admissions" process.
