SATs are back. Dartmouth is the first Ivy League to reverse course after pledging to remove standardized test requirement.

• Dartmouth reinstated its standardized test requirement for 2029 applicants.
• Dartmouth and all the other Ivy League's removed the test requirement following the pandemic.
• Other Ivy League's are re-evaluating the requirement as schools question diversity practices.

Dartmouth is the first Ivy League to reinstate its standardized test requirement, which will go into effect for 2029 applicants.

The decision comes after the school paused the testing requirement during the pandemic and fully adopted a test-optional policy for people applying in 2025, 2026, and 2027. The move followed a growing push to remove the requirement.
