I’d be stunned if the UCs brought back testing anytime this decade. It’s too much of a political football in California to bring it back. According to the Your College Bound Kid podcaster who spoke to Gary Clarke and others in admissions at UCLA towards the end of last year, they are very happy with their student population and being test optional. So it’s not UCLA admissions that’s looking to revisit the issue. Or course, I recall something similar at Cal Tech last year where their admissions office was pushing to even forgo AP Calculus and then professors revolted and now CT requires testing again.
