Focus on More Than Just Test Scores in College Admissions

College admissions can be stressful for students, and the emphasis should not solely be on test scores. Schools like Dartmouth and Yale found that submitting test scores can impact a student's success in college. They conducted studies showing that students who submitted scores performed better than those who didn't, indicating that test scores provide valuable information for admissions committees to make informed decisions. The return to requiring test scores is partly driven by the aim to make better choices in selecting successful students and to enhance diversity in colleges.
