Brown University Reinstates Standardized Testing Requirement
In a recent announcement, Brown University has joined the ranks of colleges revisiting their stance on standardized test requirements for admissions. Beginning with the application cycle for the Class of 2029, Brown will once again require applicants to submit standardized test scores, specifically the SAT or ACT.
