UC System Suspends Testing Requirements for Fall 2021

“Students applying for fall 2021 are not precluded from taking standardized tests (SAT or ACT) and sending scores if they are able. Doing so can support their statewide UC eligibility, application for certain scholarships, and help them fulfill some University graduation requirements.” Based on this information it sounds like incoming freshman should take the standarized test because not taking the test would make them ineligible for some scholarships and make their application look inferior when compared to someone who submits test scores. UC should not accept any scores because doing so caters to the more wealthy population who can pay top dollar for college couselors who have been working with them on their application and they continue to get tutoring help online during this pandemic. If they are going to level the field they need to eliminate all testing.
