[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 735067, member: 1776"] This article is a little older (saw a newer one by a school counselor in GA) but explains what is happening well. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.ajc.com/blog/get-schooled/many-places-waive-sat-and-act-requirements-for-2021-not-georgia/fbDlYA7nV5KH7FZNh5wkbJ/[/URL] Very few higher education systems are requiring SAT/ACT scores as part of admission for 2021, but GA is one of them. FL and AL seem to be the 2 other states that are requiring them based on the FairTest site. This is concerning to both school counselors in GA and admissions staff at state universities (especially GT and UGA). By requiring students to have a standardized test score the USG is putting GA colleges at a disadvantage in terms of getting kids to come from the class of 2021. If only 1 school that you are interested in is requiring you to sit for a test there is a good chance you will decide not to take the test right now - especially given the environment in the country and just knock that school off the list. GT admissions guy in this article mentions that 9 of the top 10 schools GT competes against for students are not requiring tests this year. Another article I saw said GT was the highest ranked school in the US News and World Report rankings to require a test score this year. The highest ranked out of state school was Univ of FL. No other ACC school is requiring a test score except FSU. Admissions personnel are expecting lower application numbers and lower quality of applicants unless the USG changes course. [/QUOTE]
