Test-Optional Colleges Complete List of 500+ Schools

Test-Optional Colleges Complete List of 500+ Schools SAT / ACT Prep Online Guides and Tips SAT and ACT scores are common admission requirements for college. But what if I told you that you could get into a great school without taking either of these exams? Behold test-optional colleges. Colleges that are test optional don't require you to submit SAT or ACT scoresbut will consider them if submitted. In this guide, we’ll explain what "test optional" means for different schools before providing you with a comprehensive list of test-optional colleges and universities in the US. The first two lists will cover the best test-optional colleges and universities (i.e., those ranked in the top 100), and the last list will include all other test-optional colleges in the country. Along the way, we'll also give you a few key tips on when you should and should not send your SAT/ACT test scores to schools. What Does "Test Optional" Mean? First things first, what exactly are test-optional colleges? At its most basic definition, test optional means thatyou do not need to submit SAT or ACT scores to be considered for admission to a particular school. So while you may submit test scores if you want, you are not actually required to do so. Colleges that are test optional de-emphasize the importance of the SAT and ACT by making the tests an unnecessary component of the admission process. So ifyou took the SAT or ACT but didn’t score as highly as you'd hoped you would, you can apply to test-optional colleges in order to avoid having to send in any unsatisfactory test scores that could potentially hurt your application. Throughout this article, we refer to a school as being test optional if itdoes not outright require SAT or ACT scores from all undergraduate applicants. That said, not all colleges and universities maintain the same policies in regard to their handling of standardized test scores. Below, we look at some of the ways test optional takes on new meanings at different schools. Test Optional Truly test-optional schools are exactly as they sound: you decide whether you'd like to submit your SAT/ACT test scores or not.In other words, you get to determine how you want to present yourself to schools. For example, if you feel your SAT scores are subpar, you might choose to withholdyour scores and instead opt for strengthening other parts of your application, such as your personal statement and resume. Popular test-optional colleges and universities include Bowdoin College, Pitzer College, Wake Forest University, and Brandeis University. Test Flexible Test-flexible schools are slightly different from regular test-optional colleges. At these schools, you may submitother test scores in place of SAT/ACT scores. Acceptable scores will vary depending on the institution, but you can generally fulfill the SAT/ACT requirement by submitting scores from SAT Subject Tests, AP tests, IB tests, and/or school-administered placement tests. Renowned test-flexible schools include NYU, Middlebury College, Drexel University, and the University of Rochester. Class Rank/GPA Substitution At some schools, you may forego sending in your SAT/ACT scoresonly if you meet your school's minimum required GPA or class rank. If you meet these requirements, you will be automatically admitted. If you do not meet these minimum requirements, however, you must then apply as you normally would and submit your SAT/ACT scores with your application. Specific requirements vary, but you'll typically need at least a ranking in the top 10% or a 3.5 unweighted GPA. Well-known schools offering a class rank/GPA substitution policy include UT Austin, Texas AM, andWashington State University. Test Blind The final type of test-optional college is a test-blind college. With this policy,SAT/ACT test scores arenotconsidered during the admission process, even if you include them in your application. Currently, only one school- Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts- has this policy. Here's whatHampshire's official websitesays in regard to its unique stance on test scores: "Unlike 'test-optional' institutions, we will not consider SAT/ACT scores regardless of the score. Even if it’s a perfect score, it will not weigh into our assessment of an applicant." These are the four main types of test-optional policies you’ll see in schools around the US. Now, let's take a look at which top-tier schools presently have test-optional policies. Best Test-Optional Colleges and Universities Though the vast majority of top-tier schools require SAT/ACT scores, a solid handful of them- from popular liberal arts colleges to well-known research universities- are test optional. Below are two lists: the first showsall top-tier test-optional liberal arts colleges, and the second containsall top-tier test-optional research universities.Note that "top tier" indicates any school ranked in the top 100 spots nationally (according to the 2019best national liberal arts colleges and best national universities lists inUS News). We encourage you to skim the lists to see whether there are any schools that might interest you. Each test-optional colleges list is arranged alphabetically, and you can use the ctrl + F function to look for specific schools. Remember that since schools' test-optional policies can vary significantly, it's a good idea to check with schools directly to learn more about their individual SAT/ACT score policies.

As a result, many top-tier liberal arts colleges do not require standardized test scores for admission.

(Wes Browning/Flickr) Best Test-Optional Research Universities Although most research universities require SAT/ACT scores, the following top-ranked universities do not require them at all. Five of the schools on this list- Wake Forest, Rochester, Brandeis, NYU, and UChicago- are also ranked among the top 40 universities nationwide! American University (DC) University of Chicago (IL) Brandeis University (MA) University of Delaware (DE) Clark University (MA) University of Rochester (Test Flexible) (NY) George Washington University (DC) University of Texas at Austin (Top 8%) (TX) New York University (Test Flexible) (NY) Wake Forest University (NC) Texas AM University - College Station (Top 10%) (TX) Worcester Polytechnic Institute (MA) Sources:FairTest,The Washington Post Should You Submit Test Scores to Test-Optional Colleges? If you’re applying to one of the best test-optional colleges or universities listed above, you might be wondering whether you should submit your SAT/ACT test scores or not. And the answer to this question depends on a few key factors, which we explain below. Submit Your SAT/ACT Scores If †¦ You got a high SAT/ACT score. If you reached (or surpassed) your goal score and are well above your school’s average, submitting your test scores will definitely give you a leg up in the admission process by further emphasizing your academic potential. Your school recommends submitting them. Even if the SAT/ACT is optional for a school, some schools still strongly suggest sending them in. In these cases, it’s usually best to just listen to your schools and submit your test scores anyway. You didn’t take any SAT Subject Tests, AP tests, or IB tests (or, alternatively, didn’t do well on any of them). Test-flexible schools allow you to submit other test scores in place of SAT/ACT scores. But if you didn’t take any other tests or didn’t do as well as you'd wanted to on them, go ahead and submit your (hopefully better) SAT/ACT scores. Do NOT Submit Your SAT/ACT Scores If †¦ You got a low SAT/ACT score. If you failed to hit your goal score on test day, withholdyour scores and instead focus on strengthening other key parts of your college applications. This way, your SAT/ACT scores won’t end up counting against you during the admission process. Youdid far better on your SAT Subject Tests, AP tests, and/or IB tests than you did on the SAT/ACT. If you’re applying to a test-flexible school and you performed better on your other tests than you did on the SAT/ACT, you'll get a far bigger boost to your application by submitting those scores in place of your SAT/ACT scores. You meet the minimum class rank or GPA requirement for your school. If your school automatically admits students who meet a certain class rank or GPA requirement, there's no point in submitting your SAT/ACT test scores. Doing so shouldn't hinder your application, but it won’t help it either! The University of Arizona in Tucson.

But what about other test-optional institutions that aren't ranked in the top 100 nationally? In total, there are more than 900 additional test-optional collegesacross the US.

The following list of test-optional colleges is arranged both alphabetically and by state (we have also included the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands.)
