LINK UT Austin reinstates standardized test requirement after deflated academic achievement
The University of Texas at Austin announced Monday it would reinstate its standardized testing requirement for admissions after test-optional students’ academic achievement suffered.
UT Austin became the latest school to reinstate the SAT or ACT testing requirements suspended in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic due to “limited testing availability.” All students applying for the 2025 fall semester will be required to submit test scores.
“Our goals are to attract the best and brightest students and to make sure every student is successful once they are here,” university President Jay Hartzell said in a press release. “Standardized scores combined with high school GPA support this goal by improving early identification of students who demonstrated the greatest academic achievement, the most potential, and those who can most benefit from support through our student success programs. Our experience during the test-optional period reinforced that standardized testing is a valuable tool for deciding who is admitted and making sure those students are placed in majors that are the best fit.”
The school joins the likes of Dartmouth College, Yale University, Georgetown University, Brown University, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Purdue University in reinstating the requirement. Some universities stopped requiring applicants to submit their standardized test scores in recent years over concerns about racial equity.
