The University of California system will no longer require SAT and ACT scores for admission after reaching a settlement agreement, a statement from the UC system said.

UC first announced the new policy on April 1, 2020, for incoming freshman in fall of 2021, and in May of 2020 the regents board extended the policy for 2022 and 2023. However, the UC system said it would allow campuses to make the tests optional for freshman admissions for fall 2021 and 2022. A judge ruled in September, though, that campuses could not consider scores from students who still chose to submit them.

" The Board of Regents approved the settlement on Thursday.Under the settlement, the university agreed not to consider test scores in admissions or in scholarship decisions for fall 2022."The Board of Regents had already decided in May 2020 that SAT or ACT scores would not be considered for fall 2023 admissions and beyond," UC said."And all the UC campuses have announced plans not to consider SAT or ACT scores for fall 2022 admissions.

That’s so they can justify letting wealthy Chinese in that pay 2x tuition even more. Already doing this. I know 4.7 gpa students that applied to 5 off them and got waitlisted. Campuses are 70-80% Asian.

MeehanEDU Reading the comments show how little people know about college, education, testing and California. You can go to a UC without a HS diploma or taking the SAT. Go to a CC and then transfer JUST BASED ON GRADES.

Isn't it just so democratic how we continuously lower the bar? If you have ever wondered why America is falling further and further behind in education...

That’s great, so we all now have to lower down to their standards
