Below is a great article by MIT admissions, stating why they are reinstating their requirement of the SAT or ACT for the graduating class of 2023. I have seen time and time again the value of these tests in determining who is REALLY prepared for college, and I have no doubt in their validity and value. MIT’s decision just reaffirms what I have believed, and believe more strongly than ever; these tests are very important in determining who is, and who isn’t ready for college.
