Although test-optional undergraduate admissions have become more common in recent years, the vast majority of selective universities still require either the SAT or ACT from their applicants. Only three schools ranked in the top 50 in the United States offer any flexibility in their test policies: Wake Forest University, New York University, and the University of Rochester. Only Wake Forest is fully test-optional; the latter two institutions will accept a larger number of different tests. Two major reasons for the perpetuation of standardized testing are differences in the quality of secondary schools and grade inflation. Some public schools receive more generous funding than others, and they therefore tend to have more resources and better teachers. The best private high schools offer a quality of education that approaches the level of some universities, graduating students who are eminently prepared for postsecondary study. Together with a clear upward trend in high school grades, admissions officials have difficulty evaluating applicants based on their GPAs alone. Standardized testing provides valuable additional evidence of student potential.
Wellington students seeking acceptance to selective American universities can derive confidence from the fact that Manhattan Review's SAT prep courses and SAT private tutoring have helped thousands of prior clients gain admission to their first-choice schools. Former Manhattan Review students have completed undergraduate degrees at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Princeton, Stanford, Harvard, Johns Hopkins, Yale, Columbia, Dartmouth, the California Institute of Technology, the University of Chicago, Brown, the University of Virginia, the University of California-Los Angeles, Northwestern, the University of Pennsylvania, and many more. Career success is also typical of our SAT students, many of whom now work for the best companies in Wellington, including Contact Energy, Infratil Limited, Kiwibank, Datacom Group, and Pike River Coal.
