Yale University has decided to reinstate the requirement for standardized test scores for undergraduate applicants, beginning in the fall of 2025. This marks a departure from the test-optional policies adopted during the pandemic, making Yale the second Ivy League institution, after Dartmouth, to do so. However, Yale will allow applicants to submit Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) exam scores instead of the ACT or SAT.
