Hey everyone! I'm looking into applying to Kent State and I'm kind of confused about their test requirements. Do they require the ACT, or is it optional? I want to make sure I have all the necessary materials for my application. Thanks!
Kent State University has implemented a test-optional policy for the 2024-2025 application cycle, which means submitting ACT scores is not required. You can choose whether or not to include your ACT scores as part of your application. If you believe your scores will strengthen your application, feel free to submit them. However, if you think your application is strong without them, you can opt not to send in your scores. The admissions committee will evaluate your application based on other factors such as your GPA, high school coursework, essays, extracurricular activities, and recommendation letters.
If you decide to include standardized test scores in your application, Kent State accepts both the ACT and the SAT. But keep in mind that it's entirely up to you, and if you choose not to submit them, it won't negatively affect your application. Good luck with your application to Kent State!
