슬롯 사이트 (WPI)는 오늘 입학 과정에서 더 이상 SAT 또는 ACT 점수를 고려하지 않을 것이라고 발표했습니다. 완전한 "테스트 맹인"입학으로의 변경은 2021 년 가을 애플리케이션 주기로 시작되며 모든 학생들에게 고품질 STEM 교육에 대한 액세스를 확대하는 WPI의 사명을 지원합니다. 새로운 정책은 대학 교수진이 승인했으며 8 년 조종사로 제정 될 것입니다.
“I’m proud that WPI is one of the very first STEM universities to fully eliminate the test score barrier,” said President Laurie Leshin. “WPI’s immersive project-based approach to STEM education engages students in solving real problems around the world, and our most successful students are those with drive, curiosity, and passion—factors that no standardized test can measure. We know that a WPI education can change a person’s lifelong career trajectory, and is a highly effective engine of social mobility. This is particularly true for women, underrepresented students of color, economically disadvantaged students, and other diverse populations, who are often among those students whose test scores may discourage them from seeing themselves on our campus. By eliminating this barrier, we hope to accelerate bringing to WPI learners with the varied perspectives and experiences that are vital to helping to develop contextualized, human-centered, and sustainable solutions. I applaud the WPI faculty for embracing this bold step designed to bring the WPI opportunity to talented students everywhere.”
