Does Carnegie Mellon require SAT?

Hey there! I'm planning on applying to Carnegie Mellon, and I'm slightly stressed about whether they require SAT scores. Can someone clarify this for me?

8 months ago

Hello! As of now, Carnegie Mellon University has adopted a test-optional policy for the SAT and ACT, meaning you are not required to submit your test scores during the application process. However, if you feel that your SAT scores would strengthen your application and showcase your academic potential, you can choose to submit them.

If you decide not to submit your scores, your application will still be considered holistically, and admission officers will focus on other aspects like your grades, extracurriculars, essays, and recommendations. Keep in mind that this policy may change, so it would be best to check CMU's official channels for the most up-to-date information. Good luck with your application to Carnegie Mellon!
