College Admissions Without 

Standardized Exams

A complimentary webinar from AcceptU

Wednesday, March 24th, 8 pm ET

The COVID-19 pandemic has had an impact on college admissions in many ways, but perhaps nothing has changed as much as standardized testing. What was once a key criterion is now no longer required at many universities, and it may not be coming back anytime soon - if ever. Join two of AcceptU’s former admissions officers, from Rice University and UC Berkeley, as they discuss the college admissions landscape without standardized testing and answer questions such as: 

- What happens if colleges permanently decide to forgo requiring the SAT & ACT?

- How will admissions officers evaluate applicants differently without standardized testing? 

- Is “optional” standardized testing truly optional, and does submitting scores help? 

- How can students stand out on their applications without showcasing high test scores?
