Princeton University will no longer require the writing section of the SAT or ACT beginning with students applying during the 2018-19 application season. The change is the latest among efforts to make applying to Princeton more accessible to all candidates, regardless of students’ financial backgrounds.

- 프린스턴 대학은 2018-19 학기에 지원하는 학생부터 SAT 또는 ACT의 작문 섹션을 더 이상 요구하지 않습니다. 변경 사항은 학생들의 재정상의 배경에 상관없이 모든 후보자가 프린스턴에 보다 쉽게 접근할 수 있도록 하기 위한 것입니다.

To help students who may find the cost of applying to college prohibitive, Princeton also offers application fee waivers; allows students to self-report their scores for SAT, ACT and Advanced Placement tests; and recommends but does not require SAT Subject tests. 

- 대학에 지원하는 비용이 많아 신청하지 못하는 학생들을 돕기 위해 프린스턴 대학에서는 지원비 면제를 제공합니다. 학생들은 SAT, ACT 및 AP 시험에 대한 자신의 점수를 스스로보고 할 수 있습니다. SAT 과목 시험을 추천하지만 필수는 아닙니다.

“All of this testing combined can add up in terms of cost for a family, and we do not want the fees associated with the application process to be reasons for students not to apply to Princeton,” Dean of Admission Janet Rapelye said.

- "모든 시험들을 보기 위한 비용이 많아 금액적인 부분에 부담을 느낀 학생들의 이러한 이유들이 프린스턴에 지원하지 않는 이유가 되기를 원하지 않습니다," Dean of Admission Janet Rapelye

Other ways Princeton seeks to encourage applicants who are from low-income and first-generation backgrounds are by partnering with community-based organizations such as QuestBridge, supporting nonprofits such as Leadership Enterprise for a Diverse America (LEDA) and helping lead the American Talent Initiative.    

- 프린스턴은 미국의 인재 이니셔티브 등 다양한 미국을 위한 리더십 기업 (LEDA)와 같은 비영리 단체를 지원하는등 QuestBridge 등 지역 사회단체와 협력과 인도 지원함으로써 저소득층 지원자 들을 장려하고 있습니다.

“We continue to think about ways to make Princeton more accessible to all candidates, regardless of their individual family’s financial situation,” Rapelye said. “We also know from both economic data and empirical evidence that by drawing from every sector of society, we contribute to the excellence of a Princeton education.”

- "우리는 학생 개별의 재정적 상황에 관계없이 모든 후보자가 프린스턴에 보다 쉽게 접근할 수 있도록 하는 방법에대해 계속해서 생각하고 있습니다."."우리는 또한 경제 자료와 경험적 증거를 바탕으로 사회의 모든 분야에서 프린스턴 대학 교육의 우수성에 기여하고 있습니다."

Instead of the SAT or ACT writing section, Princeton will require all applicants to submit a graded writing sample, preferably in the subjects of English or history. The writing sample, among other application materials, will help the Office of Admission assess a student’s academic potential. Further information regarding how to submit a graded paper will be available on the Admission website later this summer.

- SAT 또는 ACT 작문 섹션 대신 프린스턴은 모든 신청자에게 영어 또는 역사 과목에서 성적으로 채점된 에세이 샘플을 제출하도록 요구합니다. 에세이 샘플은 입학처가 학생의 학업 잠재력을 평가하는 데 도움이 될 것이다. 성적표를 제출하는 방법에 관한 자세한 정보는 이번 여름에 입학 웹 사이트에서 볼 수 있습니다.

A number of states and school districts now offer the SAT and ACT for free during the school day. This provides more opportunity to students to apply to college, although the free testing sometimes does not include writing sections. 

- 여러 주와 학군에서 무료로 SAT와 ACT 시험을 제공합니다. 무료 시험은 때때로 작문 섹션을 포함하지 않지만, 이것은 학생들에게 대학에 갈수 있는 더 많은 기회를 제공합니다.

“In an effort to level the playing field a little more, we now ask students for a graded writing sample, ideally from an English or history class, instead of the standardized testing with writing,” Rapelye said.

- 경쟁자들의 수준을 조금 더 높이려는 노력의 일환으로 우리는 표준화된 작문 시험 대신에 영어 또는 역사 수업에서 이루어진 작문 샘플을 학생들에게 요청합니다."

Students who apply to Princeton may still choose to submit the SAT or ACT writing section, but it will be considered an optional component in the admissions review.  Students who do not take the writing section of the exam will not be disadvantaged in the application review process.

- 프린스턴에 지원하는 학생은 여전히 SAT 또는 ACT 작문 섹션을 제출할 수 있지만 입학 심사에서 선택적 구성 요소로 간주됩니다. 시험의 작문 부분을 선택하지 않은 학생들은 신청 검토 과정에서 불이익을 받지 않습니다.

More information about application requirements is available on the Office of Admission website.
