Is the SAT still required for Kennesaw State admissions?

I'm currently planning out my testing schedule and I'm pretty confused about whether I need to take the SAT for Kennesaw State University. I'm noticing that quite a few universities are going test-optional, so I'm wondering if Kennesaw has joined that list. If they do still require it, what score range should I be aiming for to have a good chance of acceptance? It would be great to get clarification so I can allocate my time appropriately for SAT prep if needed. Has anyone applied recently and can confirm this?

Kennesaw State University, as per its updated policy, is test-optional. This means you have the option to either submit your SAT scores or not. Based on your overall academic profile, you can decide what will present you in the best light.

However, if you do take the SAT and want to know about a competitive score, Kennesaw State's 'middle 50%' SAT scores for accepted students in the past ranged from 1030 to 1220. So, you might want to aim for a score within or above that range to enhance your chances of being admitted.

That being said, without test scores, the admission officers would likely place more emphasis on other areas such as your high school transcript, grade point average (GPA), extracurricular activities, recommendation letters, and essays, if applicable. So, even if you choose not to submit test scores, make sure the other aspects of your application are robust and compelling.

Remember, these decisions largely depend on your individual circumstances. You might consider the benefits and constraints of SAT prep in your context before making a final call. If you feel your SAT scores accurately reflect your abilities and could strengthen your application, then it might be worth putting in the time to prepare. If you have any other queries, don't hesitate to ask. Best of luck!
