Will Class of 2022 also be test-optional due to COVID-19?
Answered

I am currently a junior in high school and have never even taken the SAT. I will be applying to colleges at the end of this year when I am a senior and worry that I won't have the opportunity to take the SAT. Do you think many schools (including ivy's) will make the Class of 2022 test-optional just like the Class of 2021? Thank you.

So I attended a fair few webinars hosted by different colleges the majority of them said they expect to be test-optional but some said they will be and there was a small but signifacant portion that said they will require test scores.

For example, Rice has said they will require it next year among others.

Unrelated to your question make sure any scholarships you want to apply for don't require a test score as a lot of the merit ones across the country will require one.

Hope this helps.

Hey so I just got a blast from Rice. It announced they plan on test-optional next year. I do expect some schools to still require it though.

Most (if not all) schools will be test optional

most likely yes, especially with the cancellation of the subject tests and essays due to covid

I vehemently disagree. A lot of schools (mostly selective ones) will likely see that because there's no sat subject or sat essays they will see that student's loads are lighter eliminating a reason that schools are test-optional. Rice (an ivy caliber school) has already announced they will require test scores.

Ok but Cornell University just suspended the ACT/SAT testing requirement for 2022 first-year applicants which means many other ivy's might as well.

Possibly but Rice committed to needing test scores about 3 months ago so it’s likely to be far from universal but some will undoubtedly still require them.
