Hey everyone, I've been looking at Santa Clara University as one of my potential college choices. With everything going on with COVID-19 and standardized tests, does anyone know if Santa Clara University is now test optional? Thanks in advance!
Hello! Yes, Santa Clara University is currently test-optional. Due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, the university has decided to continue its test-optional policy for first-year applicants applying for the 2024-2025 academic year. This means you can choose whether or not to submit your SAT or ACT scores as part of your application. If you feel that your test scores accurately reflect your academic abilities and will strengthen your application, you can submit them; otherwise, you may choose not to, and the admissions committee will still give your application a thorough review. Good luck with your college applications!
