I've been researching Claremont McKenna College and I can't seem to figure out if they're test-optional or not. Does anyone know if they require standardized test scores for their admissions process?
Claremont McKenna College (CMC) is test-optional for the 2024-2025 application cycle. This means that you can choose whether or not to submit your SAT or ACT scores as part of your application. If you have strong scores that you believe will bolster your application, you can submit them; however, if you feel that your scores do not accurately represent your ability or might hurt your chances of admission, you can opt not to submit them. CMC's admissions committee will evaluate your application holistically, taking into account your grades, course rigor, extracurriculars, essays, and other factors, regardless of whether you submit test scores.
