We recently informed you about changes in the SAT to a new digital testing format. The Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated the trend for colleges to offer a test-optional admissions process. 75% of 4-year colleges will not require SAT or ACT scores for the 2021-22 admissions cycle. More than 1,800 colleges and universities in the US are extending their test-optional policies through the 2021-22 application cycle, with some making the move to test-optional even longer or permanent. Cornell University and Columbia University were the two first Ivy League schools to announce that they are extending their test-optional policies for the 2021-22 admissions cycle. In this article, we have aggregated the list of test blind and test optional colleges for 2022-2023.

Going test-optional helps with the following:
The test-optional policy doesn’t mean test-blind.
The majority of US universities are still test-optional, which means if you give them a data point that they understand (which is the SAT or ACT), they will use that when evaluating your application.
Secondly, a test score also increases your chance of financial aid and complements your overall academic potential.
The majority of college admission counselors are also encouraging taking the SAT/ACT test. Read Should You Take SAT/ACT by Ruchi Saran and Five Reasons Why You Should Take The SAT or ACT by Namita Mehta.
