Harvard University has announced that it will once again require standardized tests for admission, starting with the class of 2029. This decision follows a temporary test-optional policy implemented due to limited access to testing during the pandemic. Other prestigious universities like Yale, Dartmouth, Brown, and MIT have also reinstated standardized tests as a requirement.
Harvard University announced Thursday that it is reinstituting standardized tests as a requirement for admission beginning with the class of 2029, joining other colleges that are again mandating tests for those hoping to enter the schools.
Harvard had initially said it was going to maintain its test-optional policy through the entering class of the fall of 2026. School officials said test scores are weighed along with information about an applicant’s experiences, skills, talents, and contributions to their communities, as well as their academic qualifications in relation to the norms of their high school, and personal recommendations.
