The reception will be based on the “whole” of their background has come as a big assistance for candidates.
Experts estimate the application number to soar.
“Most universities in the US, including the Ivy League such as Harvard, Columbia and Cornell, have ignored SAT and ACT (American College Testing) for students who submitted the entry request to fall 2022 intake.
The neglect initially applies to students who apply to fall 2021, but Now extended to fall 2022 too, “said the International Education Counselor of Karan Gupta.
“Universities abroad recognize that test centers are closed due to pandemic and that students may not have access to transportation and, therefore, have extended their relief.”
Gupta recommends that candidates must now focus more on their academics and extracurricular activities to prepare strong applications.
“If students still succeed in taking SAT or ACT, and the score is well, they must submit their score because it will have a positive impact on their application.”
Most of them announced the neglect of the test was Harvard University, which said “Entrance and out of class during high school years – including community involvement, work, and assistance provided to the family of students is considered as part of our process.
However , students who find themselves are limited in activities that they can pursue because the Coronavirus outbreak will not be harmed as a result, also will not be students who can only present a pass / failed value or other similar signs on their transcript.
”
Standard tests such as SAT are under the scanner, with many American University presidents holding the view that test scores are not important predictors of student success.
The University of Massachusetts Boston said, “As a university, we realize that not all students’ abilities are reflected with standard test scores.
In offering options without tests, we hope to allow quality academic applicants to highlight their qualifications.” In reviewing the application for 2022, University Columbia said, “Responding to sustainable disruption to the availability of standard testing due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Columbia extended our test-optional policy for one year, effective for the Transbia applicant and the first year to Columbia Technology or Columbia Technique to fall 2022.”
