2016年3月,饱受争议却又承担着众人期待的新SAT,终于在美国揭开了帷幕。新SAT的出现,毫无疑问会给美国留学申请带来诸多变化,比方说美国大学的录取标准以及录取政策,还有中国学生之间的竞争态势。今年一二月的时候,关于美国大学的新旧SAT政策的种种传言甚嚣尘上,有的说美国大学不会歧视旧SAT,有的说有的美国大学更倾向于新SAT,还有的更为耸人听闻,说加州大学伯克利分校不再接受旧SAT。这些传言让2016年的申请者感到迷茫,不知道在接下来的几个月里,是否应该要尝试新SAT,还是转向ACT。我们AADPS的老师在三月份以来,一直致力于查询全美前一百的综合大学和文理学院的标准化考试政策的变化,对于那些在官网上语焉不详的学校,都发送邮件前去询问。
目前我们AADPS的老师已经初步整理出了一百多所学校的新旧SAT和ACT政策,具体情况会更新到我们的官网aadps.net上,也请大家多多关注我们的网站更新。今日的周五话留学,我们放出美国前二十名大学最新的关于新旧SAT的政策,附上学校的“申请问答”的原文和链接,如果原文说得不够清楚,我们会附上学校招生办邮件回复我们老师的内容,帮助大家理解。
普林斯顿大学 Princeton University Princeton, NJ
是否接受旧SAT
We will accept either version of the SAT, or the ACT with Writing. We do not have a preference for the “old” or “redesigned” SAT. The “old” SAT, or redesigned SAT with Essay and ACT with Writing are treated equally. View our redesigned SAT FAQ page.
普林斯顿大学新旧SAT都接受。不接受旧SAT的时间晚于2017年秋季。
新旧SAT拼分政策
Score Choice
Applicants are welcome to use the score choice option for standardized test score submission. Princeton will consider the highest individual section results across all sittings of the SAT Reasoning and the highest composite score for the ACT with Writing, as well as the two highest SAT Subject Test scores. We encourage applicants to submit all official test scores as soon as they are available.
Will you combine the highest component scores from the old and new SAT?
No. We will consider the highest component scores from either the old or new test. The two tests are significantly different and therefore we will not combine scores from the two different tests. Likewise, we do not “superscore” the ACT to create a new composite score. We will consider the highest component scores across multiple sittings of the ACT, if the student submits the scores to us via a testing firm.
普林斯顿允许拼分,但只能在新SAT里拼分或者旧SAT里拼分,不允许新旧SAT一起拼分。

Writing is an essential component of a Princeton education. Evidence-based reading and writing are critical tools in a college-level curriculum and the results of a writing exam are helpful in determining a student’s grasp of these concepts.

哈佛大学 Harvard University Cambridge, MA
是否接受旧SAT
We require all applicants to complete the SAT Reasoning Test or the ACT Test with Writing and will accept both the current and the redesigned SAT scores with writing for the foreseeable future. We normally require two SAT Subject Tests. In choosing which Subject Tests to submit, it is more useful to choose only one mathematics test rather than two. Similarly, if your first language is not English, a Subject Test in your first language may be less helpful. You should submit scores from tests taken in the past three years.
While we normally require two SAT Subject Tests, you may apply without them if the cost of taking the tests represents a financial hardship or if you prefer to have your application considered without them. Standardized testing is only one component of our admissions process and your application will be evaluated on the basis of all of the other information that you submit. Read more about Subject Tests here.
哈佛大学仍未更新关于新SAT的政策,官网页面上的信息是关于旧SAT的信息。目前可以确定的是哈佛接受旧SAT。

You are free to use the College Board Score Choice option or the similar option offered by the ACT. Our official codes are 3434 for the College Board SAT Reasoning and Subject Tests and 1840 for the ACT.

芝加哥大学 University of Chicago Chicago, IL
是否接受旧SAT
Starting in March 2016, the College Board will offer a new, redesigned version of the SAT. The test itself may be changing, but the way we use SAT scores in the admissions process will not—they will continue to be used as one piece of a much broader holistic review process.
We will continue to accept scores from the old version of the SAT for the five years scores remain valid, and will superscore within both the old exam and the new, but will not superscore between the two versions. No matter what scores you send, we’ll be considering your best.
芝加哥大学新旧SAT都接受,默认旧SAT的有效期为五年,所以理论上五年内旧SAT的成绩都可以用于申请芝加哥大学。

麻省理工学院 Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, MA
是否接受旧SAT
We have not announced our policy and/or requirements for the 2017 admission cycle. We expect to have information available on our site regarding the new SAT in the spring.
For students interested in applying to MIT in 2017, and registering for the new SAT - we will accept all test results regardless of format or our final requirements. We will also accept all test results from exams taken before the new SAT.
麻省理工仍未公布正式的新旧SAT政策,但官网表示可以递交新SAT,旧SAT的分数也可以接受。
新旧SAT拼分政策
If you take the same test (SAT, ACT, or an SAT Subject Test) multiple times, we will consider the highest score achieved in each section. This superscoring also applies to students who submit scores from both the "old" and "new" SAT. We do this in order to consider all applicants in their best light.
For example, if you take the SAT Reasoning Test in 11th grade and score 750 in math, 700 in critical reading and 650 in writing, and then take the SAT again in 12th grade and score 700 in math, 650 in critical reading and 700 in writing, only your best scores from each sitting (i.e. 750 in math, 700 in critical reading and 700 in writing) are used in our admissions evaluations.
Students are free to use the College Board's Score Choice option and the ACT's option to submit the scores of your choice as well.

西北大学新旧SAT都接受,但是从明年开始,只接受新SAT。
新旧SAT拼分政策
Some students will take the current SAT before spring 2016 and then take the redesigned SAT later. In those cases, students can choose to send one or both scores to Northwestern. Because the redesigned SAT is a different test than the current SAT, a numerical score on one test will not be equivalent to the same numerical score on the other. And, for this reason, if a student sends scores for the current and new SAT, Northwestern will not “superscore” area scores across both tests.
西北大学尚未提及SAT是否可以拼分,但明确新旧SAT不能一起拼分。
新SAT和ACT是否需要加考写作
No, Northwestern will not require the Optional Essay as part of the new SAT.

是否接受旧SAT
Some students will take the current SAT before spring 2016 and then take the redesigned SAT later. In those cases, students should send both scores to Cornell. Because the redesigned SAT is a different test than the current SAT, a numerical score on one test will not be equivalent to the same numerical score on the other. Cornell will not combine (super score) area scores from the current and new SAT.
康奈尔大学要求2016年的申请者只要考了新SAT就要提交。如果没有考新SAT,未做具体要求。目前康奈尔大学是前二十的学校里对新SAT倾向最明显的一个。
新旧SAT拼分政策
Cornell does not participate in Score Choice. When you send your SAT scores we ask that you send us all of your scores, including all Subject Test scores.

莱斯大学 Rice University Houston, TX
是否接受旧SAT
莱斯大学官网尚未对新SAT政策进行说明,我们的老师已发邮件询问。
新旧SAT拼分政策
Rice uses the highest scores from any sitting on the SAT in order to consider each applicant's most positive test results. Recognizing that this policy could disadvantage those students who cannot afford repeated testing or expensive test prep coaching, we believe a comprehensive testing history provides us with the appropriate context required for making a fair judgment of what the test scores mean in a holistic admission process. Therefore, we require all applicants submitting the SAT to submit all scores to Rice.
The only definition of a composite score that ACT recognizes is its own definition: an ACT composite is the average of the four multiple-choice scale scores from a single administration of the exam. Therefore, it is Rice’s policy to use the highest ACT composite score in admission consideration.
莱斯大学要求学生递送所有SAT分数,跟康奈尔大学类似。没有提及新SAT拼分政策。
