The vast majority of universities have made the SAT I optional for the graduating class of 2021 due to the vast numbers of tests cancellations during this pandemic. There was only one university, the university of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne that came across my research recommending the SAT I . In previous years, the SAT II for the most part has always been optional with the exception of engineering majors. My research has indicated that the SAT II is also now optional with the exception of two UC campuses that recommends it for engineering majors. For those who have already taken either SAT I or the SAT II, I recommend reporting the scores to the universities. Below is a brief list of the universities I have researched and their SAT requirements for the high school graduating class of 2021.
