University of Michigan Ann Arbor Early Action Fall 2025

[DroidsLookingFor]

Well, UMich hasn’t yet been prompted by any of the schools in this thread. Not sure why Penn in particular would push them over the top:

Stanford, Harvard, Dartmouth, Yale, Penn, Brown, CalTech, JHU, and UT-Austin to Require Standardized Testing for Admissions

I wouldn’t be surprised to see Columbia, NU and/or Duke go back to test required. BC is widely rumored to be going back for 2026 too, but no announcement yet. I also wouldn’t be surprised for the state of NC to require tests for their top publics. Time will tell. I expect the majority of schools will stay TO, especially the ones that were TO before the pandemic as you mentioned for UChicago.

That said, it won’t surprise me if sooner or later they go back to test-required. Not bc of Penn though
