Millions of students each year still take the ACT and SAT.

The Washington Post reports.

They took the tests. But they got into a selective college without sending scores.

Sara Ngo pushed herself in high school. The 18-year-old from Niagara Falls, N.Y., a daughter of Vietnamese immigrants, took Advanced Placement classes in history, economics and calculus. She took dual enrollment classes with a local college. She described herself as an A student, active in student government, with “a lot of extracurriculars,” including helping to spearhead an organization that raised money to distribute school supplies for needy children in nearby Buffalo.

She took the SAT once and the ACT twice. She wasn’t happy with the results. “The scores I got don’t reflect the kind of person I am,” she said. She had been eyeing George Washington University, among others, and traveled to Washington for a campus visit last July. While there, she learned that GW would no longer require applicants to send test scores.
