Yale University will again require students to submit standardized test scores when they apply for admission, school officials said Thursday. The change comes after officials found that the scores were the single best predictor of students academic performance and that not considering them could be a disadvantage for those who have already faced daunting challenges.

The decision which includes greater flexibility for applicants by allowing more types of tests is likely to be closely watched not only by students aspiring to highly selective colleges and agonizing over test scores and other metrics, but also by other universities evaluating their own policies. The change will go into effect for first-year and transfer applicants for fall 2025 admission.
Well, good.
