Did Stanford change SAT/ACT reporting? What other schools changed this year?

If I recall, Stanford used to be all seatings of all tests–looks like they changed and you just report highest now…am I reading correctly?

Yes,

There’s an update here:

Additionally, many colleges, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, Brown, Duke, and Caltech which have all dropped the requirement of the essay component of SAT/ACT in recent weeks.

The challenge of having a list is that many colleges update their requirements each cycle, so applicants should always verify with their target colleges, although presumably, the Common App and any proprietary app will have updated information.

When we toured Duke in May, the AO stated they require SAT with essay, have they changed that policy? @skieurope

Yes. They announced it last month.
