Yale(예일), 2022학년도 SAT 옵셔널 선언
아이비리그 중 예일대학이 마지막으로 테스트 옵셔널 선언
미국 거의 모든 대학 내년에도 Test Optional 정책 연장
Yale has adopted a test-optional policy for first-year and transfer applicants in the 2020-21 and 2021-22 admissions cycles. Review details below.
코로나 팬데믹 상황이 계속되면서 많은 학생들이 미국 대학 진학에 필요한 SAT/ACT 시험을 제대로 치르지 못함에 따라 예일 대학도 2022학년도 미국 대학 입시에서 테스트 옵셔널을 선언했다. 지난해와 똑같다. 이로써 아이비리그 대학 가운데 하버드 대학이 가정 먼저 테스트 옵셔널을 선언했고, 나머지 7개 대학도 모두 테스트 옵셔널을 1년 더 연장하는 것으로 결정했다.
테스트 옵셔널은 학생이 SAT/ACT 점수가 없거나 성적이 나쁘면 안내도 된다는 정책이다. 물론 좋은 점수를 갖고 있으면 내는 게 좋다. 점수를 아예 안 본다는 test free나 test blind와는 다르다.
예일 대학에 합격하는 학생들이 일반적으로 갖고 있는 SAT 점수는 평균 1515점이고, 상위 25%는 1560점이다. 따라서 1515점 이상의 SAT 점수를 확보하고 있다면 제출하는 게 좋을 것이다.

In response to the extraordinary circumstances associated with the pandemic, Yale is temporarily suspending its requirement that first-year and transfer applicants submit results from the ACT or SAT. The change will be in effect during the 2020-21 and 2021-22 admissions cycles for applicants who intend to matriculate in fall 2021 or fall 2022. Applicants who are unable to complete an exam or who choose not to report exam scores will not be disadvantaged.
When reviewing applications in the 2020-21 and 2021-22 admissions cycles, the Admissions Committee will expect that some applicants will have completed one or more exams and received scores they feel reflect their academic strengths and college preparedness. Others may be disappointed in their performance but face barriers to registering or preparing for an additional exam date. And some students will simply be unable to complete any exam prior to the application deadline. Yale’s policy is designed to accommodate all students with a straightforward option: report ACT or SAT scores if you wish.
Review the full statement regarding Yale’s test-optional admissions policy.
A policy decision for students applying to enroll in fall 2023 or later will be made in winter 2022.
ACT and SAT overview
During the 2020-21 and 2021-22 admissions cycles, applicants to Yale College may opt to report results from the ACT and/or the SAT. Applicants who are unable to complete an exam or who choose not to report exam scores will not be disadvantaged.
The Common and Coalition Applications will include the following question: “Yale is providing applicants the option to have their applications reviewed with or without ACT or SAT scores. Do you wish to have ACT or SAT scores considered with your application?”
Applicants who respond “Yes” may not change their response. Any official or self-reported ACT or SAT scores included with a student’s application will be considered during the review process.
Applicants who respond “No” may change their response to “Yes” by using the Application Update Form on the Yale Admissions Status Portal to self-report ACT or SAT results at any time after applying.
Applicants who submit the QuestBridge Application will respond to the above question via the Yale Admissions Status Portal shortly after applications are received.
Standardized test results, when included, are just one component of a student’s application and are viewed within the context of the student’s entire file. There is no minimum score required for admission, nor is there a score that will guarantee admission. The middle 50% of test scores (the 25th to the 75th percentiles) for enrolled first-year students in Fall 2020 were as follows:
SAT-Evidence-Based Reading and Writing: 720-780
SAT-Math: 740-800
ACT Composite: 33-35
Note: the above data reflect score ranges before Yale temporarily adopted a test-optional policy. While Yale’s test-optional policy is in effect, the admissions office will not report data on the test scores or test-sharing choices of applicants, admitted students, or enrolling students.
ACT and SAT policies:
SAT vs ACT: The Yale Admissions Committee does not prefer one test over the other, and students who submit both the SAT and ACT are not at an advantage.
Essay and Writing Sections: The ACT Essay and SAT Writing sections are optional. Applicants who opt to complete the Essay or Writing section may self-report their Essay or Writing subscore on the application. Official score reports from the ACT or SAT will include the Essay or Writing subscore when applicable.
Self-Reporting Scores: Students who opt to include ACT and/or SAT scores with their application may self-report scores on the application and/or via the “Update Application” form, available on the Yale Admissions Status Portal after an application has been received. Applicants who are offered admission and choose to matriculate at Yale will be required to provide official results of all self-reported scores prior to enrolling. Discrepancies between an applicant’s self-reported scores and official scores may result in the withdrawal of an offer of admission.
Multiple Tests & Test Dates: Applicants who opt to include scores may choose to report scores from one exam date or multiple exam dates, but they must include a complete set of subscores - e.g. Mathematics and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing for the SAT; English, Mathematics, Reading, and Science for the ACT.
Superscoring: When assessing SAT results, admissions officers will focus on the highest individual section scores from all test dates. For example, if an applicant took the SAT twice, the highest Evidence-Based Reading and Writing and Math scores will be considered individually. When assessing ACT results, admissions officers will focus on the highest ACT Composite from all test dates while also considering individual ACT subscores.
Additional exams
SAT Subject Tests have been discontinued. Results from these exams will not considered for any first-year or transfer applicants.
Students who have completed AP Exams, IB Exams, or AICE Exams prior to submitting their applications may opt to self-report scores in the testing section of the Common Application, Coalition Application, or QuestBridge National College Match Application. Students who have completed any of these exams and who feel that their results demonstrate strength in specific academic areas may want to self-report those scores, but reporting them is entirely optional. As in other parts of the application, exam results will be considered as one component among many of a whole-person review process.
Students enrolled in IB and AICE curricula at the time they are offered admission are expected to have completed their exams and to submit final results prior to enrolling.
Testing deadlines
The last possible test dates are:
Sending scores after applying
Applicants who complete a standardized exam or receive a new exam score after submitting their application may use the “Update Application” form available on the Yale Admissions Status Portal to self-report new scores, or list Yale as an official score recipient either on or in advance of the test date. Yale’s CEEB code for the SAT is 3987; the ACT code is 0618.
Testing for non-native English speakers
Yale strongly recommends that non-native English-speakers who have not taken at least two years of secondary education where English is the medium of instruction take any one of the proficiency tests listed below.
Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL)(link is external)
The TOEFL requires pre-registration for available testing dates. Yale’s most competitive applicants have TOEFL scores of at least:
100 on the internet-based TOEFL
25 on each of the three sections of the paper-and-pencil TOEFL Paper-delivered Test
Results from the November test (for Single-Choice Early Action) or the January test (for Regular Decision) may not arrive in time for the committee’s consideration. Be sure to include Yale’s CEEB code (3987) on all test registrations.
International English Language Testing System (IELTS)(link is external) and Pearson Test of English (PTE)(link is external)
The IELTS and PTE offer proficiency tests in locations around the world. Pre-registration is required. Yale’s most competitive applicants have IELTS scores of 7 or higher and Pearson Test scores of 70 or higher.
Duolingo English Test (DET)(link is external)
Applicants may submit the Duolingo English Test (DET), which combines an English proficiency test with a brief video interview. Duolingo’s technology and format allows applicants to complete the test at any time or place with internet access. Yale’s most competitive applicants have DET scores of at least 120.
InitialView provides live, unscripted video interviews that candidates may submit to colleges for consideration with other application materials. Interview times must be reserved in advance. There is no scoring associated with these interviews.
