Dartmouth College is suspending its undergraduate standardized test requirements for one year as Ivy League schools abandon the SAT and ACT exams during the coronavirus pandemic.
Dartmouth’s change is effective immediately, according to an email from the Hanover, New Hampshire-based school on Wednesday. Separately, Columbia University said that such tests will be optional for first-year applicants to Columbia College and the engineering school for the fall of 2021.
