美国在2020时很多学校都宣布取消SAT要求，表面说是因为COVID，实际都是因为
BLM要增加少数族裔(aka黑）的比例，而取消SAT，因为SAT强的都是华人与白人。
结果这几年入学的少数族裔(aka黑)很多都读不下去，拉低学校的水准
所以去年开始很多学校都又开始要求SAT入学参考，今天初很多长春藤也回复要求。
笑死

Harvard University becomes latest Ivy League to reinstate SAT, ACT for
admissions
4.完整新闻内文:
Following the footsteps of its Ivy League peers, including Yale, Dartmouth
and Brown, Harvard University announced that it is reinstating its
standardized testing requirement in admissions beginning with the Class of
2029.
继其他长春藤学校如耶鲁，达特茅斯, 布朗等，哈佛也宣布2029毕业生（2025入学），
申请需要提供SAT
"Students applying to Harvard College for fall 2025 admission will be
required to submit standardized test scores," Harvard's Faculty of Arts and
Sciences announced Thursday. "This new policy will be applied to the Class of
2029 admissions cycle and will be formally assessed at regular intervals."

Harvard had initially said the test-optional policy would remain in effect
until applications for the Class of 2030, according to The Harvard Crimson.
哈佛原本预定2030才要检视是否要重启SAT
The university said that while it will accept the SAT or ACT "to meet the
standardized test requirement," other eligible tests will be accepted "in
exceptional cases in which those tests are not accessible."
学校将接受SAT或ACT
Edgerley Family Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Hopi Hoekstra, in a
statement Thursday, said that the decision to reinforce testing after a gap
of almost four years was based on a “a number of factors."
哈佛说过重启SAT决策来自于参考过去四年不同的变因（哈佛取消SAT四年了）
"Standardized tests are a means for all students, regardless of their
background and life experience, to provide information that is predictive of
success in college and beyond," Hoekstra said in a statement.
SAT是一个标准，无论背景或生活经验，其提供一个可量化的资讯参考学生是否可成功
The dean said that when students have the option of not submitting their test
scores, it is possible that they withhold the information, which "could have
potentially helped their application."
"In short, more information, especially such strongly predictive information,
is valuable for identifying talent from across the socioeconomic range,"
Hoekstra said.
Like other Ivy League schools, Harvard also cited research by Harvard
Professors Raj Chetty and David J. Deming and co-author John N. Friedman
published last year, that stated that standardized tests are an important
tool in identifying "promising students at less-well-resourced high schools,
particularly when paired with other academic credentials."
However, the university emphasized that standardized test scores are just one
aspect of the application, and that the admission committee carefully
considers each application as a whole before making a decision.
“Test scores can provide important information about a student’s
application,” William R. Fitzsimmons, dean of admissions and financial aid
said in a statement. “However, they represent only one factor among many as
our admissions committee considers the whole person in making its decisions."
Harvard, like other schools across the country, had dropped the SAT and other
standardized testing requirements in June 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic
that had limited access to testing. Submission of scores remained optional
for subsequent application cycles, with the Class of 2028 being the fourth
for which students were able to apply without submitting test scores.
如许多学校一样，哈佛在2020取消SAT，说因为COVID
"Through the admissions process, we seek to recruit students from all parts
of our nation and across the world, from many walks of life, to bring with
them to Harvard a universe of new questions, perspectives, and hopes for the
future," Hoekstra said.
In February earlier this year, Yale and Dartmouth both announced their
decision to reinstate the standardized testing requirement for undergraduate
applicants.
二月耶鲁与达斯茅斯重启SAT要求
Dartmouth College in a statement said that the “test-optional admission
policy” implemented in June 2020 was never meant to become standard
practice, but rather a “short-term” pause in light of current events. The
university was the first Ivy League institution to make this move.
Both Yale and Dartmouth had said that their decision to reinstate testing had
come after several years of research and study, with Yale pointing to data
suggesting “test scores are the single greatest predictor of a student’s
future Yale grades.”
Brown, meanwhile, announced in March its decision to reinstate standardized
testing for the Class of 2029.
