George Washington University announced on Monday that it was dropping testing requirements for its freshman admission process, meaning that students are no longer required to submit their SAT and ACT scores when applying for the university. Dean of Admissions Karen Stroud Felton explained their decision, saying “Although we have long employed a holistic application review process, we had concerns that students who could be successful at GW felt discouraged from applying if their scores were not as strong as their high school performance.” By removing the testing requirements, Felton hopes that the university will attract “outstanding students from all over the world and from different backgrounds - regardless of their standardized scores - to recognize GW as a place where they can thrive.” Do you like the idea of all universities and colleges adopting this policy?
THE NEWS MAY BE FAKE BUT THE DEBATES ARE REAL
