Colleges are increasingly looking beyond the numbers when it comes to admissions. Since the pandemic, many have made SAT and ACT scores optional due to doubts about the tests’ evaluation of students.

This coincides with the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in June of 2023 to end race-conscious admissions. Universities are reexamining how to cultivate a diverse student population. This decision will likely increase skepticism around the admission process.

Admissions offices must now reconsider what skills and qualities to focus on when choosing incoming students. In the upcoming Virtual Forum hosted by The Chronicle, a panel of experts will explore the future of holistic review.
