6月11日,華盛頓大學發(fā)布關于取消2021年秋季以后入學的學生標準化考試成績要求,意味著華盛頓大學的申請不再需要SAT或者ACT等考試成績,跟托普仕Alice老師一起來看下詳情吧。
1. 華盛頓大學關于取消SAT/ACT考試公告詳情:
華盛頓大學已經(jīng)取消了2021年秋季以后入學本科生的標準化考試分數(shù)要求,如SAT和ACT。
鑒于COVID-19的爆發(fā),由于缺乏可用的檢測點,2021年秋季入學的標準化考試成績要求已經(jīng)暫時取消。
華盛頓大學的招生官員已經(jīng)研究了幾年的成績和結(jié)果,發(fā)現(xiàn)標準化的考試分數(shù)與華盛頓大學的成功沒有多大關系,特別是對華盛頓居民來說。這一改變將使申請者能夠?qū)W⒂趯W習嚴格的大學預科高中課程,而這更直接地關系到在華盛頓大學的成功。
華盛頓大學校長安娜·馬里考斯說:“華盛頓大學致力于為最有前途的學生創(chuàng)造機會,讓他們學習并發(fā)現(xiàn)如何產(chǎn)生影響?!薄!白屑毜姆治龊脱芯勘砻?,標準化考試并沒有像我們的整體錄取程序已經(jīng)提供的那樣,有意義地增加對學生成功的預測?!?/p>
研究還表明,在我們向所有人擴大接受高等教育的機會至關重要的時候,要求入學考試分數(shù)會給低收入背景的學生、有色人種的學生和婦女造成現(xiàn)實和可感知的障礙。
“歸根結(jié)底,這項決定關系到入學和學生的成功,”學院參議院主席、信息學院教授約瑟夫·詹尼斯(Joseph Janes)說?!霸谂c我們的管理部門進行了認真和深思熟慮后,教師們認識到,學生在大學四年或四年以上的潛在成就不能用一天一次的考試結(jié)果來衡量。我們希望,這一舉措將為我們的大學敞開大門,讓一代又一代優(yōu)秀的學生通過這一大門進入我們的大學?!?/p>
這一改變立即對西雅圖校區(qū)生效。UW Bothell和UW Tacoma將審查其標準化考試分數(shù)政策。
2.華盛頓大學關于取消SAT/ACT考試官網(wǎng)發(fā)布的原文:
The University of Washington has removed the requirement of standardized test scores, such as the SAT and ACT, for incoming undergraduate students beyond the fall of 2021.
The requirement had already been temporarily removed for the fall 2021 incoming class due to the lack of available testing sites in light of the COVID-19 outbreak.
UW admissions officers have studied results and outcomes for several years and found standardized test scores have little correlation with success at the UW, particularly for Washington residents. The change will allow applicants to focus instead on taking a rigorous, college-preparatory high school curriculum, which more directly correlates with success at the UW.
“The UW is dedicated to creating opportunities for the most promising students to learn and discover how they can make an impact,” UW President Ana Mari Cauce said. “Careful analysis and research showed that standardized testing did not add meaningfully to the prediction of student success that our holistic admission process already provides.”
Research also indicates that requiring test scores for admission can create barriers, both real and perceived, for students from low-income backgrounds, students of color and women at a time when it is critical that we expand access to higher education to all.
“Ultimately, this decision is about access and student success,” said Joseph Janes, chair of the Faculty Senate and a professor in the Information School. “The faculty, after careful and thoughtful consideration in partnership with our administration, have recognized that students’ potential achievement over four years or more of their university education can’t be measured by the result of one test on one day. And we are hopeful that this move will open doors to our university through which will come generations of magnificent students.”
The change takes effect immediately for the Seattle campus. UW Bothell and UW Tacoma will be reviewing their standardized test score policies.
