University of Notre Dame Reinstates SAT/ACT Requirement for Fall 2028 Admissions

The University of Notre Dame has announced it will require SAT or ACT scores for all first-year and transfer applicants starting with the Fall 2028 application cycle. This move ends the university's pandemic-era test-optional policy, joining other top-tier institutions like Harvard and Yale in reinstating standardized testing requirements. The decision was influenced by internal admissions data showing a correlation between test scores and student academic performance.
