Cornell University reinstates standardized testing requirements for prospective undergraduate students starting from the fall 2026 application cycle.
All Cornell colleges and schools will remain without an SAT/ACT requirement, as Cornell Admissions announced the extension of their test-optional and test-blind policies for the Fall 2025 application cycle.
While 2024 SAT test takers will experience a shortened and digitalized exam, Cornell colleges have continued test-optional and test-blind policies for applicants.
Incoming students highlight personal journeys in applications due to test-optional policy.
After becoming test-optional for certain colleges in 2021, the University will extend this policy and remain test-optional for 2023 and 2024 applicants.
