A growing number of universities, but not the UC, have opted to stop requiring the SAT and ACT in their admissions process, saying the tests place an unfair cost and burden on low-income and minority students, and ultimately hinder efforts to broaden diversity on campus.
UCSA is calling on individuals and organizations to add your name to sign this petition. Tell UC to stop the practice of mandating these requirements.
