Hi guys! I'm curious if the University of Alabama is test optional for the upcoming application cycle. Is there any information about whether they'll require the SAT or ACT? Thanks!
Yes, the University of Alabama (UA) is test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle. This policy means you have the option to submit your SAT or ACT scores, but it's not required - your application will still be considered even if you don't submit test scores.
While submitting test scores can potentially strengthen your application, you can still demonstrate your academic abilities through your high school transcript, GPA, and other aspects of your application even if you don't include an SAT or ACT score.
