加州大学系统宣布放弃SAT/ACT，佐治亚大学系统却强制要求提交

据美媒报道，当地时间5月15日，美国加州大学(University of California)与学生和倡导团体的法律和解中宣布：从现在起到2025年春季，正式停止使用SAT和ACT大学入学考试作为入学要求。

 

事实上，加州大学的这项决定不是一时之策，根据纽约时报的报道，UC这次的声明，缘起于加州大学2019年的一起诉讼，取消标化对学校来说是迟早的事情。

 

这起诉讼由一些非裔、拉丁裔学生团体发起。他们在2019年起诉中指出，加州大学在本科生录取过程中使用的标化成绩对少数族群和残障学生群体不平等，要求加州大学在录取过程中放弃使用标化成绩考量。

 

 

经过长达近两年的辩论和听证，上周五，加州大学最终与起诉方达成和解，并宣布从现在起到2025年春季，UC同意在所有校区的本科新生录取中，放弃对标化成绩因素的考量。学生被录取后，自愿提交的标化成绩可以用于课程安置。

 

毫无疑问，作为全美最大公立大学系统，UC此次的决定会对申请学生有莫大的影响。后面一段时间，UC各校区将会出台具体的文件细则。

 

但是，佐治亚大学系统则反其道而行之，不愿跟风。以佐治亚理工、佐治亚州立大学、佐治亚大学为代表的大学纷纷官宣——从2022春季入学批次开始，恢复SAT/ACT标化要求。

 

同样是两个大学系统，对于标化成绩的态度却是截然相反。

 

对于加州大学系统，大家比较熟悉，因为有伯克利分校、戴维斯分校、圣芭芭拉分校、洛杉矶分校等TOP50名校，在国内家长圈里知名度比较高，但佐治亚大学体系却知之甚少，排名稍微靠前的就是排名第35的佐治亚理工和排名第47的佐治亚大学，事实上，佐治亚大学体系包含佐治亚理工、佐治亚大学、佐治亚州立大学等26所学校，影响范围要比加州系广一些。

 

在佐治亚大学系统（USG）发出通知后，佐治亚大学等校也纷纷官宣此事，宣布：明年开放申请时，招生办公室将继续执行此要求。

 

作为申请者，如果选校清单里这两个大学系统的学校都有，就很尴尬了，到底要不要参加标化考试呢？

 

1、标化成绩可选政策。截止目前，已经有超过1400所美国大学宣布2022年秋季入学申请标化成绩继续沿用可选政策。

 

2、除了USG体系的学校，TOP60综合大学和TOP30文理学院中，大部分是可选或者不选。

 

因此，我们是不是就可以高枕无忧不用准备标化考试了呢？

 

我们的观点还是一贯的，未必。

 

1、去年在疫情爆发的情况下，依然有超过60%提交了标化成绩，今年有更多考场恢复考试，势必会有更多申请者会参加考试，来提升竞争力；

 

2、无标化成绩导致名校申请人数暴涨，一个不错的标化成绩虽然不会直接决定录取与否，但至少可以向招生官展示你的学术能力；

 

3、国际学生的挑战。随着去年托福雅思各种家庭版考试成绩放水，托福分数的权威性已经面临质疑，标化成绩也是最有力的辅证。

 

4、选校清单决定。如果你只申请加州系大学，可以忽略标化考试，如果你的清单里，还有其他学校，就要考虑上面的三点。

 

因此，建议依然是有余力的同学，在托福达到目标分数之后，准备课外活动的同时，标化考试依然是一个重要选项。
