University of Wisconsin System Considers Permanent End to Standardized Test Requirement

The University of Wisconsin System is evaluating a permanent removal of ACT and SAT submission requirements for first-year applicants across its 13 campuses. This potential policy shift, which contrasts with some other universities reinstating standardized tests, is based on research suggesting high school GPA is a stronger predictor of student outcomes than ACT scores. This decision could significantly influence future admissions processes and student access.
