An above satisfactory SAT score is one of the many requirements for high school students when applying to different universities. Nowadays, however, submitting an SAT score can be optional. For example, at Wake Forest University, applicants can choose whether or not to include their SAT score. Some students opt out from sending in his/her SAT score due to low scoring. Last year, 28 percent of Wake Forest’s 10,555 applicants chose not to present his/her SAT score. In addition, students rather have the admission officer focus on his/her extracurricular activities than one standardized test.
With this new trend taking a hold, the role of SAT scores might play less of a factor in the application process. If the SAT is eliminated, will a new standardized test be produced? Also, the non-SAT option emphasizes the value of being a well rounded student and not simply relying on one factor.
