Beginning in the fall of 2019, Ball State University will no longer require applicants to provide an S-A-T or A-C-T score to be considered for admission.
It’s the first time a four-year public university in Indiana has made such a move, but Ball State administrators think the change will lead to more academically successful students enrolled in the university.
Ball State President Geoffrey Mearns said research shows a student’s Grade Point Average is the most accurate indicator of academic success.
Students will still be still encouraged to include their S-A-T or A-C-T test scores if they believe it will be beneficial to their admission.
