Test Optional Class 2021

With the UC system going test optional for the class of 2021, I wonder if this will be the end of the ACT writing requirement forever for the UCs. Our counselor said that the UC system is basically the only reason that portion of the exam still exists.

Also wondering you’ll be able to submit just the ACT score with no writing for the 2021 cycle. Scored a 36, so would like to submit that but haven’t taken the writing.
