WSU no longer using SAT and ACT in admissions process | WSU Insider

March 12, 2021
PULLMAN, Wash. — The Washington State University Board of Regents voted today to stop requiring and using the SAT and ACT tests in the admissions process.
The plan approved by regents also recommended that WSU no longer use SAT or ACT scores in the selection process for scholarships as well as tuition waivers.
“This is the trend,” Provost and Executive Vice President Elizabeth Chilton said. “I think COVID just sort of pushed a number of colleges and universities a little further along because we saw that we were able to make informed decisions without those scores.”
Chilton noted that years of scholarship has demonstrated significant issues of bias with standardized testing. Instead of using these scores, admissions officers will rely on metrics, including grade point average, that better reflect a potential student’s ability to succeed.
