Most schools kept test-optional admissions in place this year. But one school that went back to requiring the SAT or ACT was MIT. What happened? Well, they saw a decrease in Early Action applications by almost 20%. Note, however, that applications did not fall all the way to the Class of 2024 levels, which was the application year before the pandemic when test scores were also required. It’s still an increase of 28% since that year, even if it is a far cry from the 62% increase in the first year of pandemic-era test-optional admissions.
