Standardized testing is back?

What a fascinating timeline:

1. Long history of people pushing back on SATs and ACTs 2. Belief that GPA is a better way to assess a college applicant 3. COVID causes colleges to make testing optional 4. AI makes GPA significantly less valuable as an indicator 5. No one really knows what standard to use anymore for college admissions 6. College professors band together to push for more standardized testing
