Stanford brings back SAT, ACT scores for Fall 2026 admissions: What students need to know

Stanford University will require SAT or ACT scores for Fall 2026 admissions, ending its test-optional policy. The university will also continue to consider legacy status, opting out of California’s Cal Grant to maintain the practice. Students must now plan for standardised testing as part of a holistic admissions process, with financial aid unaffected for eligible California applicants.
