IB and TOEFL may Replace SAT/ACT – Admissions Without Borders
Colorado College, one of the most selective liberal arts schools, announced Monday it would adopt an “alternate” testing policy that allows applicants to submit Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate scores in place of the SAT or ACT.
It’s significant because most top colleges require either SAT or ACT scores as a tool in what is, for them, a difficult sorting process involving thousands of applicants. SAT scores mean the same thing everywhere. Other items on an application — letter grades, grade-point average and such — vary from high school to high school.
