Hey guys! I'm currently looking at SUNY New Paltz as one of my top choices for college, and I was wondering if they're test-optional now, considering the ongoing pandemic situation. Any info would be appreciated!
Yes, SUNY New Paltz is test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle unless you are applying to an accelerated medical program. This means that most applicants can choose whether or not to submit your SAT or ACT scores as part of their application. If you are not applying to one of the aforementioned programs, and feel that your test scores do not accurately represent your academic abilities, you can submit your application without them, and the admissions team will focus on your other application materials, such as your GPA, extracurricular activities, and essays. Good luck with your applications!
