Hey y'all, has anyone applied to Boise State lately? I've heard that they went test-optional because of the pandemic, but I couldn't find a super clear answer on their website. Can anyone confirm if this is the case?
Yes, Boise State University has indeed decided to go test-optional in their application process. This means that submitting SAT or ACT scores is not required, and your application will be reviewed based on other factors like your GPA, courses taken in high school, extracurricular activities, and application essays. That said, if you feel that your SAT or ACT scores are strong and reflect your academic abilities, you are still welcome to submit them. Please remember that test-optional does not mean test-blind; if you choose to submit your scores, they will be considered as part of your application. As policies can change, I would recommend reaching out to Boise State's admissions department to get the most accurate and up-to-date information.
