California State University Will Drop the ACT and SAT From Admissions

In March, the California State University system will vote on various recommendations and strategies on how to properly eliminate SAT, ACT requirements from their admissions. Like several other universities and colleges across the nation, California State University has suspended standardized testing requirements throughout COVID. The latest concern regarding standardizing testing in the admissions process is due to the testing being largely unfair to students from low-income and minority backgrounds. 

A new system must be put in place to move forward with eliminating the SAT and ACT from the admissions process. According to various reports, universities and colleges are looking into a multifactor admission score that will account for 21 different factors. California State University will join the University of California in this decision. The University of California’s nine campuses made the decision last year to no longer accept standardized testing in their admissions.
