Is the ACT and SAT optional essay dead?

We've long known that the SAT and ACT essays were poor tools for evaluating writing skills. On this front, we have some welcome news -- the optional SAT and ACT essays are, essentially, dead. As of now”, West Point is the only school still "requiring" a standardized essay (and even that might change by the time we get to Fall admissions season).

So finally some good news! No need to register for, complete, or prep for the optional SAT and ACT essays. They are a thing of the past.
