ACT scores to be replaced by the essay questions for some students
ACT scores will be less important to some prospective candidates to the DePaul University.
DePaulia reports that an application process optional test will be held
from next year. Optional test policy allows applicants to choose
between submitting ACT scores and other standardized test results, and
responding to a series of essay questions. According to the site,
athletes, international students are homeschooled and have yet to submit
test results to college.
ACT scores and other standardized test
scores be submitted after registration, but is designed for research
purposes only and will not affect those who have been accepted. This is
to help combat the idea that ACT and SAT scores are all that matter when
applying to college. Since the details of the site, “Jon Boeckenstedt, associate vice president of DePaul’s Enrollment
Policy and Planning, the school’s ultimate goal is to let people and
students know that their four years in high school mean more than four
hours on Saturday morning.”
A spokesman for the Labour Relations Act of the
media, Ed Colby, believes that the act is incredibly beneficial for
students and universities alike, “ACT scores are a standardized measure of academic readiness that allow
students to show colleges how prepared they are to succeed in firstyear
courses at that institution.”
DePaul has been working in the optional testing program
about five years, and is currently launching a pilot project for four
years, during which the project's success will be measured.
Applicants for the fall 2012 semester will be eligible to opt first for the provision of ACT scores for acceptance.
