In Episode 2213 of the 'Teen Kids News' series, the focus is on changes in college admissions criteria, particularly surrounding the SAT and ACT standardized tests. Many colleges previously made these tests optional due to the pandemic, but now some prestigious schools like MIT, Harvard, and Georgetown have reinstated their test-required policies, citing test scores as reliable indicators of college readiness. Other institutions have adopted a 'test-free' approach, not considering SAT or ACT scores at all. The video highlights expert insights from Rob Franek of the Princeton Review, who advises on test preparation and the benefits of strong scores for admissions and scholarships. Additionally, the episode delves into a PSA project by Connecticut high school students on distracted driving, emphasizing creative student engagement and media production skills. The video concludes with a segment on state sports, reinforcing cultural diversity and statewide pride.
