Test Optional

Some applicants may be able to select "test optional" when completing his/her application. Learn how to select test optional and the requirements. Please note that nursing applicants must submit test scores.

When test scores are submitted, we use a sliding scale based on a minimum grade-point average (on a 4.0 scale) and a corresponding SAT or ACT score. If your grade-point average is 3.0 or higher and you have an SAT score above 990 (19 on the ACT), you will receive the highest consideration.

For students with a GPA below 3.0, this sliding scale will apply:

GPA       NEW SAT
(evidence-based reading and writing, and mathematics) 		 ACT
2.51 - 2.99 990 19
2.41 - 2.50 1030 20
2.31 - 2.40 1070 21
2.21 - 2.30  1110 22
2.11 - 2.20    1140 23
2.00 - 2.10 1180 24
