Hello everyone! I'm considering applying to the University of Portland, but I'm a little unsure about their SAT policy. Can anyone confirm if they require or recommend the SAT for admissions? Thanks in advance!
Hello! The University of Portland has a test-optional admissions policy, which means submitting SAT scores is not required for admission. Applicants have the choice to include their scores if they believe it accurately reflects their academic abilities or not submit them at all. The university will still consider your application holistically, focusing on your high school GPA, course rigor, extracurricular activities, essays, and other factors. So, you have the flexibility to decide whether or not to submit your SAT scores based on your individual situation and what you think best represents your strengths. Good luck with your application!
