Gettysburg College Goes SAT-Optional
Pennsylvania's Gettysburg College has joined the ranks of selective liberal arts colleges that have adopted a SAT and ACT-optional admissions policy.
Faculty voted to change the College's standardized testing policy following a two-year study period.
Vice President for Enrollment and Educational Services Barbara Fritze told a local newspaper that Gettysburg staff and faculty had concluded that applicants' high school records were a better indicator of their academic potential than standardized test scores are.
Gettysburg is the 27th school on the US News & World Report's list of the top 100 US liberal arts colleges to go SAT-optional.
