Union College Drops SAT/ACT Requirement
Union College has joined the ranks of selective colleges that no longer require prospective students to submit standardized test scores as part of their application package.
The change will take effect in the 2007-2008 application season and will apply to all applicants except those applying for the Leadership in Medicine program.
Admissions Dean Dan Lundquist told the Business Review of Albany, New York, that "We have learned that the best predictor of academic success is a past record of academic achievement in a demanding, rigorous class roster." Applicants who think their SAT or ACT score will strengthen their case for admission are welcome to submit the score, but the scores will no longer be required of any applicants.
The freshman class entering Union College this fall had an average SAT score of 1240.
