Should I take standardized tests?

Yes. Despite the test-optional policy during the pandemic, Georgetown and Georgia Tech, along with some other universities in California, Colorado, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Tennessee, and Washington, DC, have retained their testing requirements. Many colleges including MIT and Dartmouth have reinstated their requirement for students to submit either SAT or ACT scores. We always advise our students to take the test and submit impressive scores because it will help in achieving differentiation. Admissions officers will look for ways to measure your academic skills and gauge your potential for success.
