Fact Check: Most Top Schools Don't Require ACT Writing
Perhaps surprisingly, most top-ranked colleges and universities do not require ACT Writing. In recent years, many top schools, including Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Duke, and Brown have stopped requiring the ACT Writing test. Currently, none of the Ivy Leagues require ACT Writing.
Many top public colleges, including the University of Michigan, and University of Texas, have also stopped requiring ACT Writing, although the UC system still does require the ACT Writing section.
