Standardized testing is back. Hundreds of colleges are now requiring the SAT or ACT for the first time in five years—and while the new digital SAT is the most well-designed college admissions exam to date, most students SHOULDN’T take it. 📝 Last month, Ivy Method Tutors Co-Founders Michael Robin and Peyton McDavitt and our ILUMIN Education founder Elton Lin took to a webinar to explain why! They demystified the new SAT and helped students build the best test prep plan for themselves. If you missed it, don't worry—you can find the transcript on our website's blog and the recording on our YouTube channel!

This past summer, the University of Chicago announced their binding Summer Student Early Notification (SSEN) application option: high school seniors students who have previously completed one of UChicago’s summer programs can now apply to the university between September and mid-October—earlier than the ED1 timeline.
