California State University, the largest public university system in the United States, on Wednesday said it will no longer use college entrance exams in undergraduate admissions.

The change means that applicants may still submit their SAT or ACT scores if they wish to do so, but admissions counselors at Cal State will not look at them. Instead, Cal State universities will utilize a “multi-factored admission criteria” to determine each applicant’s eligibility.
