Making the Right Choice For You
Should I send my SAT or ACT scores to schools?
It's best to make an informed decision by understanding the test policies and admissions requirements of the colleges on your list.
By evaluating your academic record, test scores, and the policies of each college, you can decide whether sending your SAT or ACT scores is the right choice for you.
Test-Flexible: Exploring Alternative Paths
A test-flexible policy means the college may allow applicants to submit other tests, rather than the SAT or ACT, to meet admission requirements.
Students may submit materials such as alternative test scores (AP exams), research projects, internship experiences, academic papers, or portfolios.
Test-Optional Admissions: A Flexible Path
A test-optional policy means applicants can choose whether to submit their application with their SAT or ACT scores.
Some colleges and universities may be test-optional only if the applicant meets certain criteria. If students meet a minimum GPA requirement, they may choose whether to submit their scores.
Test-Blind: Focus Beyond Scores
A test-blind policy means that colleges will not look at any test scores. If you submit your scores, they will not be reviewed or count towards the decision process.
-
Some schools may require test scores for course placement or academic advising after you’re admitted.
-
High test scores can help with merit scholarships or advanced class placement, even if not used for admissions.
