Hi everyone, I'm a junior considering Stanford as an option for college. I was just curious if they still require an SAT score for their application process or if they've gone test-optional as well? Any help would be much appreciated!
Stanford University is currently test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle. This means that submitting an SAT score is not required, and you can choose whether or not to include your test scores with your application. If you feel that your SAT score is strong and will benefit your application, you can include it. If you think your score won't accurately represent your ability or potential, you can choose to not submit it, and your application will still be given full consideration.
Keep in mind that Stanford may change their test-optional policy for future cycles, so make sure to stay updated on their admission requirements as you approach application season.
