Cornell announced Monday that starting this admission cycle, SAT subject tests are no longer required for first-year applicants to the College of Arts and Sciences.
The SAT has long been considered an academic rite of passage: a four-hour educational interrogation later distilled into a four-digit summation of test-taking prowess. However, recent changes in admissions policies at a growing number of colleges are increasingly sparing students from this longstanding tradition, allowing them instead to take advantage of newly-offered “score optional” policies.
