There’s little doubt in our minds that more institutions will join this trend: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/education/2024/04/11/standardized-tests-harvard-admission-requirements/73292423007/. CFSCBO remains concerned for marginalized students who don’t have access to or the financial means to support formal test prep. Nonetheless, CFSCBO continues to encourage our students to take advantage of the plethora of online FREE Test Prep and for FEE Test Prep, whenever possible.
Lastly, we draw your attention to this groundbreaking, 20-year study by Bates College where the following and more supported their decision to eiliminate testing: https://www.bates.edu/news/2005/10/01/sat-study/.
- “The difference in Bates graduation rates between submitters and non-submitters is 0.1% (one-tenth of one percent).”
- “The difference in overall GPAs at Bates is .05 (five-hundredths of a GPA point); the exact difference is 3.06 for non-submitters and 3.11 for submitters.”
