Is University of Alabama test-optional?

Hey everyone, I was just wondering if the University of Alabama has a test-optional policy for SAT/ACT scores? My scores aren't the strongest, so it'd be great to know if they're necessary for the application. Thanks for any help!

Yes, the University of Alabama is currently test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle. This means you have the option to submit your SAT or ACT scores if you feel they represent your abilities well, but you can also choose not to include them in your application.

If you decide not to submit your test scores, the university will focus on other aspects of your application, such as your high school transcript, curriculum rigor, extracurricular involvement, personal statement, and recommendation letters. This provides you with the opportunity to showcase your strengths without the potential hindrance of lower-than-desired test scores. Good luck with your application!
