I don’t really see this as a trend either. SAT/ACT whatever, the fact of the matter is schools need some sort of standardized test to distinguish students from others since obviously grades are not the same at every HS across the country. There’s a reason nobody debates the GRE/LSAT/MCAT/etc. There may be problems with the format of the SAT/ACT, but eliminating standardized testing completely is not the answer. Some schools may be willing and ok to drop the requirement, and I think that is fine and their decision, but they do serve a purpose IMO.
