Providence College ditches SAT

Inside Higher Ed:

Providence College will announce today that it will no longer require undergraduate applicants to submit SAT or ACT scores. Officials said that they feared the test score requirement — even though it has not been a major focus of the admissions process — may have discouraged some low-income students from applying. The move follows an earlier announcement that the college was shifting funds from merit to need-based aid as part of a campaign to close the “student accessibility gap.”
